Jim,
In my opinion there is 2 areas I really don't mess with( safety and
headaches)
The fuel and brakes. I have seen crusty tank rust from the inside out.
Have played with liquid metal putty and all that stuff. I get new tanks
from
the British parts connection for around $107.00 and its worth it.
No drain plug but u can save yr old one and get it weled in cheaply.
Pumps are pretty hardy unit and can usually be saved.
Ring with an ohmmeter first anf check the resistance across it as it
moves
with the float.
Will help u with more if needed.
