Scrounging for Parts on a Rainy Day

If anybody has a rotted out fuel tank for a '26-27 Star "M" I could sure use the fittings from it. I need the filler neck and the flanges for the fuel line and drain. I don't need the whole tank. This is a rectangular style measuring 33 1/2" long, 7 3/8" tall, and 12 1/4" wide.
I have a friend near Hot Springs, Ark that has been reproducing Model T tanks for many years and is willing to build a couple of new ones for our Star projects.
Please let me know what you have.
Thanks in advance

Don,

Did you ever get the fittings that you needed?

Also do you think that he could do a LOCOMOBILE tank if I furnished measurements, fittings and a few pictures?
Thanks,
Lance C.

Send me a copy of the measurements and a pic of the old tank and I'll see what he can do.
