Forgot about names going missing when replying.

There are also three internal baffles to be made and spot welded into place.

And yes, the tank liner you pour in is also available here.

Terry has a good point, and it is not hard to roll up a tank. The ends are crimped into the body, but if you were to place them about 5-7mm inside the body & weld it up, it would look very genuine. Also NO RUST inside.

As long as you had a filler neck & a sender (if you wanted it), you would be right. Any decent sheet metal shop could make it in a few hours. (I estimate about 1 1/2 by a good sheety.

NOTE:
Don't throw away your old tanks either: Someone might want to repair them one day. Pinholed, dented, split...they are repairable. It is just time & effort vs. cost.

Keith,a good sheet metaler should be able to make up your tank ends no problem
I made a couple of new tanks some years ago and getting it all made up in kit set form was not a problem.
The only thing to watch out for is rust from the soldered areas,spout and sender unit mount
For the drain plug i used an old sump plug and threaded bit welded in the bottom of the tank.good luck

Here are some tank ends we made up just using a wooden buck as a form.

We used the old tank as a donor for the proper fittings and this is what the inside of a coated tank look like after a period of time.
