Thanks for all the replies.
Have since been to see my local friend/welder/panel beater (bread and butter modern car crash repair man) who has done quite a bit on my Nippy special bodywork and he seems to think he can make a new tank in alloy ok.
Interestingly he is currently working on a stripped down Rolls Royce alloy body improving the door shut fit.....a small imperfection at the door front was getting the very detailed attention.....I would not have noticed the slight deformation had he not pointed it out.
He is going to make some new doors for me in alloy frame and skin...the old steel ones are so heavy with some wood rot and rusted out at bottom and don't fit the openings.
