How did your replacement fuel tank look Mark;did the inside look better than the original ?
The replacement tank was great inside, everything worked and aside from two small dings, it had the fuel gauge sending unit and a decent petcock, no gas tank cap, bought a new one (only cost $25). Repaired/repainted the lower half silver again and a couple of coates of clear later, and it was done. I spent $225 total on the tank, cap and paint. A steal in today's world. It still has the original graphics (which are checked) and the original red on top. Re-cleared the entire tank to preserve the upper half. Might, might..... Repaint the entire tank and apply new graphics in the spring, there just sitting on a shelf, but the red on the tank has a rainbow like flake in it (very fine) and I've not found a reproduction color of that yet. There's the solid red (Toyota color) available, just not with flake in it. So yeah we'll see...
