With the rust issues addressed it was well about time to treat myself to some new parts. As the old fuel tank was almost rusted through and a new one wasn't all that expensive this was a bit of a no-brainer. The only thing the aftermarket tank lacked was a fuel drain.
Quickly made a very solid disk on the lathe and tapped it M14x1.5, so I can use a magnetic drain plug to catch some of the rust that will inevitably build up over time on the inside.
Top tip: If you plan to fit a copper washer, put it on as soon as possible or you might end up wondering, why that tank is dripping fuel ever so slightly...
