You definitely want to change the rubber connections! The fuel ate through mine and started leaking in a parking garage. Luckily the level wasn't too far past the bottom of the inlet, but messy none the less. I don't think "filler neck hoses" are intended to be in permanent contact with gasoline.

Fred, where did you get yours, how much and do you have the measurements ? Looks nice.

My plastic tank might need to be replaced, as the car has been sitting for 15 years with around 1/4 level of mixed alcohol & gas. Pew !

My BD came with a metal tank. Very thin and developed pin hole leaks, I think from rocks hitting it. I tried to repair it for about 3yrs. Last year had one made, same dimensions but heaver steel. Added another bolt and nut to support it. So far so good. When you drop your tank, you might want to cut an access hole in your trunk to get to the fuel sender and return if you add EFI, you can even do with the fuel tank in, it's easier to measure the opening for the trunk.

I got mine from Iconic. I know there are some custom options out there but I figured that would be the easiest install being it's the one installed in the new cars. It mated right up.
