Bob,
Hope this is what you are talking about...
I thought the foam was just there so when you pushed the tank
lock "in," the springs would press up against that foam and cause
them not to shake around when you were carrying it. I re-did my '64
and found most of the foam had rotted away, so I replaced it.
Putting too much in, so even when I had the tank unlocked the foam
was still pressing against the springs. So I basically cut back the
foam until I got it right.
