I will be getting my gas tank back from being cleaned. The old material (that fell apart) looked like a canvas webbing. I have been through the parts manuals and it is not identified.
So, what is a good replacement material to use?
Thanks

I bought these. Trim to fit. Works great.

It does go into reverse and I believe 5th gear.

It is normal. The rear tires through the drive shaft keep the out-put shaft from moving. Just roll it a couple inches and you will get a different two or more.

Unfortunately that didn’t work. Does anyone else have a suggestion? My last resort is to pull the engine/transmission.

I used some neoprene strip which was about 1.6mm thick [1/16"] and about 30mm wide and bonded it to the straps. Got it at my friendly Rubber Supply Store.

trying to find the nut that connects the oil pressure gauge hose to the hard line that goes directly to the gauge. Mine has a crack and is leaking. Several places sell the hose but can't find the nut that goes over the line and meets the hose at the bracket that holds it off the frame.

Isn't the Oil Pressure gauge electrical?

thought it was mechanical - know that there is something 'hard' going up there. Maybe it is electromechanical.

I don't know the year range exactly, but I know later years do have the line going directly to the gauge. Mine is a 67 and the back of my gauge does not have the line, just a wire.

My '70 has a hard line to the oil gauge.

68-70 have mechanical gauge.

Mine is a 68

And the hard line to the guage, under the dash, has a connector that can leak, as I recall......

Given the age of the car it is probably a Metric thread. Do you have any thread gauges?

I think it the same as a standard brake line.

This is the line I used on my SR20, different fittings are available, but I don't know the threading needed for the stock engine.

the end that connects to the hard line is 10M 1.25 the end that goes in the block is british threads.
