Soaring,

That's exactly what I was going to do. The move to put the plate behind the rear seat seemed to provide owners with a false sense of security as the rear package tray (flimsy fiberboard) becomes the weak link.

You're right about the package tray, but the rear seat metal guard is a lot better than the masonite. With the tank armor, you at least get a tad more protection. The real answer is the fuel cell. But, who can aford that?

yeah, i prolly will just because it was sitting for a while. i just wanted to know if there was a tool used specifically for looking into the gas tank, kind of like a lighted scope of sorts. like i said my friend said it was replaced recently, but by time i'm ready to rock and roll, it'll be sitting for quite some time, so i'll prolly replace it anyway. just trying to save a few bux!
