Wink petrol tank for blitz

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.
