Correct battery lid and fuel tank rubbers? ST CT70

[Houredout401]

I overlooked two items in my quest for a correct as possible ST.

Fuel tank rubbers that attach to frame, mine did not survive - parts fiche calls for a 17611-098-300 that is NLA. K1 parts fiche has a 17611-098-310 number which is still available. I don't know if the steel tank K1's had a different mount,or if I could use the K1 part on the KO? I see a few used ones on eb*y,but not knowing if it is a -300 or -310 part, I am hesitant to buy.

Plastic battery lid: orig part no. of 50661-098-010B was superceded by 50661-098-0ZA. Any differences in these two?

The K0 tank pads were dense foam, glued to the frame. Metal-tanked bikes (mid-K1 & later) used molded rubber insulators, that were sorta glued in place; they self-located but, the rubber was too thin to hold firmly without adhesive. Only thing that matters is getting the tank height shimmed so that the filler neck is snug against the tank bracket. May as well order what's available and add rubber shims, if necessary...or just improvise from the get-go.

Not sure about the differences in the battery covers. Only thing I've noticed is that they're now shinier than they what was sold 10-15 years ago. And, they're rubber, not plastic.

I have some rubber foam that is very similar the the K0 pads. I could send you a piece but not till about Wednesday.

Thanks but I think I have some left over from a shorai battery that had all sort of different thickness dense foams. The ruined one I have is close enough to gauge. Glad I did not by the incorrect ones on eb*y.

So shout out to allenp42 who shipped me 2 repro foam pads that are dead on the original from what I can tell. Shipped them to me at no charge, what a dude!
