Or is it not a problem and I shouldn't be worried about it? I keep thinking it's going to completely pull out whenever I disconnect the pipe to lift the tank up

sounds a bit tricky- finding anyone who'll weld or braise it unlikely as an empty fuel tank+flame=bomb- maybe some of the tank seal putty stuff or liquid metal possibly???
braising probably best job if someone willing to do it after inside tank steam cleaned- would need a respray after though

Thanks Miles I think I,ll try some sort of bonding compound. I did try and build up a bit of body filler round it last time I painted the tank but it eventually broke away

I fixed a leaking tank with a compound called JB WELD, it is the only one the fuel did not break down. Not expensive and you can get it from Halfords etc. Should do the trick.

Evening

Where abouts can I get the right sized bolts to blank off the neutral switch and oil thingy?

And as I don't have a mechanical rev counter, does the spinny thing needs to be removed and blanked as well?

Cheers

blanking bolt for neutral is a m8x 1.0mm pitch about 16/20mm long and a copper or alu washer- probably have to buy longer 1 and cut it down to length of switch- not sure oil light size as i decided put in brand new sensor instead- any metalwork supplier or maybe ebay
