You're gonna mess with this for a while...

and end up replacing the tank.  ;)

But...have fun.

Getting fasteners in there securely and having a good enough fit not to leak is going to be difficult. Then, if something lets go while you are on the road :o  At least get the tank to someone who knows how to weld plastic.

Screw like nuts worked just fine. it took 10 minutes to create them.
Stock ones were just square form with dead end. Plus red loctit and overtightening gave hard time to get bolts out and damaged housing. That was all about.

Did not made photos but you can imagine how it looks like. And I would say looks more securely than stock nuts.
Have to wait for sunny days to check system under pressure. 8)
