Grounding.....
Alex..... the original tanks were mounted on a braided canvass ribbon impreganted with some coal tar substance of some sort and would ALSO have acted as an electrical isolator...also reduced squeaks and friction between metals... BUT the fuel line is steel and properly grounds everywhere on the frame with hold down clips.
These same canvas strips eventually (40 + years) became dry and absorbed water which usually rotted the underside of the fuel tanks..
