[SEL] John Deere Fuel Tank/Oil Pan

[Luke Tonneberger]

Thanks Spencer. I take a piece of white paper and lay it on the cast. Then 
with greasy fingers I run my fingers over all of the edges and holes. It 
leaves a perfect outline on the paper. Then I cut out the greasy tracing 
with some scissors. Take the template and tape it onto the cork gasket 
material and cut it out with a razor knife. I used a straight edge to cut 
the straight portions. For the holes I used a hollowed out punch looking 
deal. I got a couple of them in a box of junk from an auction. I think they 
are for punching holes in leather or something like that. Probably could 
make the same thing with a piece of pipe or tubing with the 'cutting edge' 
cut on an angle with the bench grinder.
