403 tank
I repaired my 403 tank 40 years ago in situ with Araldite. 10 years later I removed it and had it copied in aluminium. Stainless would be a good alternative, but the fabricator was able to cut out and transfer the details on top (pipe and float insert) saving him time and me money. Local small firm near Bristol, and they showed me a (small) pile of alloy turbo inlet manifolds they had just cut and rewelded for the Bristol factory. Then- back in the day - the tank cost £100: it wasn't a difficult job and they did that sort of thing all the time, so shop around locally for aluminium fabricators.
