This is what I did. Not much more $ when you factor in the hassel of swapping necks out on reproduction tank. Also won't get banged up when offroad & can smooth out qtr panel where cap came through.

I've read, but no personal experience, that the poly tanks can start sagging so that was enough for me to go with a new steel tank. I need to remember to post up the product info on the tank as it worked very well with just cutting off my old neck and using a short piece of fuel hose to connect it to the new tank.

Yeah I'd be interested in that info.

Thanks
