Fuel Tank Mod

[davidimurray]

Having bought one fo the great fule tanks HandyAndy sniffed out I'm now looking at making a mod to it. Knowing that there are a few cunning people so thought I would see what suggestions people come up with.

The current fuel sender is fitted to the centre of the tank. I want to replace this with a motorbike unit as I plan to use bike style clocks. I've got a sender from a Honda Blackbird. It is perfect, arm length, float travel etc - the only issue is I need to fit it on ones side of the tank. I can easily blank off the old sender hole. Then I need to fit the new ones - only 4 mounting holes. So I'm wondering what is the best way to fit the new one? Fit a thick threaded doubling plate? turn some threaded inserts, fit from below and tig on top? make a thin doubling plate and weld nuts on bottom then weld to top of the tank? Rivnut and fit a thick gasket?

Any crazy ideas welcome!
