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....
