[Spridgets] Fuel tank modification help

[GUY DAY]

Not much help now, but I believe British Motor Heritage (sales at bmh-ltd.com) 
have just started doing a galvanised fuel tank with such a modification. 
(It was only yesterday (Friday) I read a press release - so they could have 
been doing it for years!)   It isn't in their parts list as yet ( 
http://www.bmh-ltd.com/brochures/2011%20midget%20brochure.pdf  ) so contact 
will be need if you want to ask them what they have done.
