I was toying with replacing the gas tank... posted on: 3/15 TC (54packpac), two months from the idea to realization, congratulations, that was really fast and the result is impressive.

I would add jam nuts or self locking nuts on the gas tank straps. The hardware may need re-tightend after the car has run a hundred miles or so.

Turns out the new strap bolts are metric. M10/ 17mm nylon locking nut works perfect. The gauge appears spot on now. First time since 1961.....

A couple years ago I bought a pair of brake cylinders from Napa for my 1954 Patrician and, while the same part number and box, one had a metric bleeder hex while the other did not although the threads were the same. The mounting holes on both were also the proper threads so something of a hybrid.
