Yes, there is a little cardboard tube. It is 13/16" OD and 7/8" long. It has an opaque film in the middle of the tube which is broken in the photo. The picture is from a '56 Clipper speedometer.

I had my 56 Clipper speedometer rebuilt by John Wolf & Co. in Ohio,http://antiqueinstrument.com/
and they had a replacement for mine which had broken when the speedometer failed.

You say you have to jam it to go into Park and it won't go into Reverse. Both of those require that you pull back on the selector lever. If the selector lever does not pull back, check for hardened grease at the other end of the column where the linkage exits. Pulling back on the selector lever moves a tube inside the steering column and moves some spring loaded parts at the other end. Mine wouldn't budge and I had to remove and disassemble the steering column, clean, and grease everything to get it working. There is a grease fitting on the column to lubricate this mechanism, but in my case it looked like it had been missed.I also found that the detents, which are in the collar below the steering wheel, were severely worn indicating that sticking had been getting worse over a long period of time. I also replaced the collar so I now have all of the detents.

Kanter's tanks also had an issue with the filler pipes. As I understand, people returned the tanks to Kanter so they stopped selling them.

For me, bending the filler pipe was a better option than sending it back and having nothing.

The Motor City tank box shows that it was made in Taiwan and shipped to Motor City via Los Angeles. I don't know where the Kanter tanks were made.
