'72 tank, need some pics of parts

[BigD9146gt]

Hello all,

I'm working on a 72 oil tank, and i don't have all the parts at my disposal (or the car for that matter). Anyone who has worked on a 72 oil system, i have a few questions:
-How does the tank keep from rubbing against the side of hte sheetmetal? Is there a rubber gromet that attaches to the inner wheel well?
-Does the 72 have a different stamped sheet metal inner wheel housing? Or is everything needed for mounting the oil tank just added to the same sheet metal for the '69-'89
year cars?

I'm in need of any pictures of 72 oil tank with all the fallowing parts:

- The tank complete.
-Any gromets that hold the tank from rubbing the side of the wheel well.
-The metal strap that holds the tank.
-The dip stick.


Any help will be much appreciated. Don.

The tank uses a pair of plastic 'dish' shaped inserts to buffer it from the sheetmetal. They are about 1.75" across.

Not sure about the rest of the issues.

It's a wacky setup that is difficult to measure your oil level with! (I've got one)

Thanks everyone. Would i assume correctly that the part #20 would be this dish insert? Is it still avalaible?

Item 20 in the above figure is called a spacer in the 72-73 factory parts catalog; it's part number is 91120730700 and three are required per tank. Pelican can order them for you (they're now called a retainer) for $2.00 each. Cheers, Jim
