Viper you must mean the pad will be damaged as obviously you are not referring to tank damage LOL.
P.S. God makes us crash so we can improve out rebuild skills (repeat 1000 times)

Hey Spike have you tried David Silver Spares for that tank pad. I know someone who sourced one through them a few months ago. You would probably have to phone them as I don't think it is listed on their website http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk

Hope that helps
