I'm thinking along the same lines as Bill, in that the foam serves to
dampen/protect the springs during transit (is that correct?). When I built
my own tank, I used some 1" foam that I attached to the back of the baffle
with some of the adhesive Velcro tape - I stuck the male portion on the
foam, and the female stuff on the baffle (or vice versa, I forget). That
way, I could take it off easily if needed. The sticky adhesive stuck to
both the foam and the baffle pretty well. Kind of like two sided tape for
people who can't make up their minds . . .
