Interesting comment, John, on the felt ring. I've had two cars which were fitted with a continuous ring of felt like material behind the front flange of the tank, butting up to the scuttle. I know it's not listed in the Spare Parts handbooks but it did seem custom made. I wonder if it was an afterpart manufactured by a spares company. I didn't refit them for the same reason as you give, but did wonder about fretting between the tank & scuttle. I may still even have one of them amongst my hoard of spares!
