Have you considered taking the existing tank to a local radiator shop to be
cleaned and checked? It could cost you a whole lot less money and you are
going to be pulling it out either way? My understanding is that most 'local'
radiator shops are quite reasonable cost-wise for cleaning/testing a tank.
Just a thought from someone currently replacing the tank on his '75 Spit.
Mine has a broken weld and subsequently leaks pretty badly, not worth
repairing to me, so I am getting a good used and cleaned/tested tank from Ted
Schumacher.
