Indeed, that why I was thinking cork instead of felt. I am also going to
check at the local fabric store as there are some heavy-duty 100% polyester
interfacing materials that might work well too.

Wouldn't a non-absorbent material be best?
(not taking issue with the info your provided Angelo)
------------------------
Angelo,
The Triumph Parts book describes them as Felt, but they do feel a bit
heavier than that. Moss sells the four pieces, 2-strap and 2-under-tank for
$17.45, part number is 849-320. TRF only show to carry one of the
under-tank pieces.
As the book calls out two under tank pads, 107561 & 107562, I would say that
you need one under each level.
As a follow up question, has anyone found a suitable, or superior,
substitute material for these from a convenient local source? I was think
that I might use cork when I get to the tank installation point of my
project.
