There's a brand here called Flash-Tac, I have some on my garage roof.
However, I thought mass was an important factor. Being that the heavier the panel the greater amount of energy is required to cause it to vibrate, and that flash tac stuff isn't very heavy.
That's why I came up with the idea of sticking lead flashing to the tank. Maybe I should bite the bullet and give it a go.
Incidentally, a word of warning to anyone who decides to remove the original horse hair. The bulk of it is easy to remove but I tried removing the remnants of it stuck to the rear bulkhead on my car. I used a Xylene based product, which is brilliant for removing the old brown rubbery glue which was widely used on British cars of that era, but there was also some black stuff on my bulkhead, possibly some sort of underseal, and mixed with Xylene and horse hair makes a horrible black sticky mess!
