Don't know why I bought the Fitz

Money pit.

OT: My C20 Super has insulation around the tank but unless it was pulled at some point which I my 71 Deluxe doesn't. I wonder if that's common. I'll skip the insulation, just curious is all.

I'm going to use 1/8" neoprene for cushions, if they did a good job at factory then it overlaps for 1/4" along the bottom center of the tank. Here's how I found the cushions, I like how they slapped on two pieces on the RH wall only

Think I'll reinstall it a pinch more symmetrical.
