Marty, re. the tank mount post, you might consider this rude,crude, but quick and effective solution. Find a coupling nut, turn it in your drillpress, and file it round, or cut a piece of steel tubing to length and run a 6x1.0 mm. tap into it. JB Weld that new post to a fender washer or a flat piece of steel. JB the resulting piece under the hole with the new post sticking up through it. Flatten the surface around the hole with more JB. And congrats on the acquisition--a late Standard, rarest of the rare!
