I used ordinary wool felt.  At the time, it was sold in the local hardware
store, but today you'd probably have to order from MMC or somebody.

Sorry, it's been too long, I don't recall which way was which now.  And
possibly it depends on which tank you have (there were at least 3 different
tanks that ISTR didn't directly interchange).  But as I recall, the lowest
part of the tank hung in space while there was a "shelf" of sorts where the
weight was supported.  That shelf (and under the straps of course) is the
only place I used felt.
