In regards to the gas tank fuel level gauge float, When i buy a used plastic tank i remove and discard all the fuel level float and arm. The hardware just rusts. After cleaning the interior, i kept finding rust flakes from the float arm hardware. I just take the lid off and look inside for a good estimate of how much gas i have. Or just pick it up ,tell by the weight.
On a period correct factory tank, of course i would keep it all original. Find a cork at the hardware store about the same size as your existing one, and coat it with super glue ,or several other materials our club members use.
