Specify new bodywork, like this superb Fuel Tank, and know that it will fit exactly like the original, will look exactly like the original, when it was new, and will last like the original.
It would be hard to restore the old fuel tank with the paint and decals expertly applied and the interior cleaned of gunge and rust for much less than the cost of this tank. Even if you did, the tank would still not be a new one.

Fitting a brand new fuel tank (whilst they are still available) is a lot easier than repairing and restoring the old item. Order all the fasteners, anti-vibe mounts and perhaps a new filler cap 4420101832 at the same time, and still only pay the same single fixed price shipping cost.
