Location of Gas Tank rubber mounting set (5 pieces)

While my gas tank is out being cleaned, sealed & pressure tested, I thought I would install the ‘5 piece rubber mounting pads’ for the tank on the frame rails & the body back board. Can anyone tell me the exact location of the top horizontal rubber pad & the two left/right vertical pads. If my memory serves me correctly these pads were all screwed in place (counter sunk heads). My tub is completely new & hence no markings from the original pad set.



Your help is greatly appreciated!

I don't have dimensions, but this photo might help. I think the rubber pads are glued in position, not screwed.

The top horizontal piece of rubber shown in the pic above was actually two separate pieces in my TC. Near where they meet in the middle was a flat headed wood type screw on either side. The screw's were installed so the flat heads were down below the surface of the rubber. I do not recall if there was another similar screw for each of the vertical pieces. I think there was. With so few screws used, I would think some sort of glue was also used at the factory. Maybe even wet paint?
