Bruce,

So the tanks were originally just the galvanized look (no paint), with some black undercoating on the bottom and the sides?  I am getting ready to order a new tank and want to make sure I get it close to the correct look. Blasted my straps and will need to paint them correct as well.

I put strips of thick black plastic tape at all the metal to metal contact points. Things just seem to last longer that way.

I got my new tank from Kennedy a few weeks ago.  Looks great, nice reproduction.  Has anyone had any problems installing the new retaining ring for the sending unit?  I got a new sending unit assembly as well and having a hard time getting the retaining ring started.  Should be so simple...........
