has a leak around where the neck attaches to the top tank from before =
but that was patched.  I am wondering on what to do and looking for =
experience feedback:

=20

1.       Try and get it repaired?  Given it is original, how much real =
life is there?

2.       Buy a new replacement from one of the big three? What is the =
fit and finish been like?

3.       See if someone has a spare to sell and ship to Southern =
Ontario? What shape and do I run risk of failing first week after =
install?

4.       Buy an aftermarket =E2=80=98racing=E2=80=99 one? Look horrid J =
but what is the fit and finish like?

5.       Other options? =20
