All taken care of...  Found a good parts supplier in Denver - wish I had
known about them before and I wouldn't have had to wait on the master
cylinder and caliper that I also replaced...

Ended up putting in an '86+ tank (I think) - a new one.  Mounted with
plumbers tape to the side of the battery box.  The adapter for the lower
hose made it too long to connect easily, so... another loop-like bit of
hose, making even more of a maze.  It works though, and that's what matters.

Probably taking off in a few days towards Canada....
