Not much help now, but I believe British Motor Heritage (sales at bmh-ltd.com)
have just started doing a galvanised fuel tank with such a modification.
(It was only yesterday (Friday) I read a press release - so they could have
been doing it for years!) It isn't in their parts list as yet (
http://www.bmh-ltd.com/brochures/2011%20midget%20brochure.pdf ) so contact
will be need if you want to ask them what they have done.
