YearOne and Classic Industries both have 25% off right now. I just found out that Detroit Muscle Technologies is reproducing fuel tank pads now. You might give them a call. I ended up using heavy roofing felt before I knew where to find them. Might be a good idea to replace the filler tube grommet and sending unit (or at least the pick-up sock).

I also got mine from a store on eBay tamraz was the name i think i also purchased my sending unit from him asked him to put the unit in the tank for me so i would only have to pay shipping on the one box and he did. The tank was exactly like my original except for the rust. I was able to use an ice scraper and remove my original pad from the top without tearing it and used a soft bristle brush to sweep away the dirt before i reused it.
