FWIW, the model “F” Elto is worth saving if at all possible. They only made 999 of them. The tank on your motor has the filler cap moved to the rear, whereas all other model F’s that I’ve seen had the filler in the front starboard corner (its one of the tells that its an original F). So your tank is likely a replacement.
Can you post some pictures of the broken sections of the crankcase? it might still be salvageable although it would probably take a lot of work. I’m not able to picture the breaks because you said two mounting points were broken off but I’m only aware of one long mounting lug that sticks out the rearward side of the crankcase.. Those tanks mount with bolts at three locations, one in the back and two on top or near the front. Curious to see what happened with yours
