Ali fuel tank fabricators / suppliers.
Discussion
In the not so distant future I'm going to need to replace my fuel tank. Having had it welded twice in the last 12 months and advised that the base of the tank is showing very early signs of corroding from inside to out I think its wise 
Just wondering if anyone knows or has used any ali fabricators / ali tank suppliers for a Griff tank. I couldn't find a steel or ali tank anywhere at short notice last year so had it welded. This year, at exactly the same date (the day before the Growl) I had another pinhole appear that I had welded by our bodyshop at work. Its all fine now but I dont want to chance another fuel leak in the coming months.
Aluminium is my prefered option but would also consider a new steel tank if anyone knows a supplier.
Cheers

Thanks for the replies guys.
Ant. - I tend to use the car all year round if the weathers dry but I could put up with it being off the road for a bit if needs must.
Quinny - tried the breakers last year, two separate tanks turned up, both from Chimps and wouldn't fit so lost faith in breakers a bit, may have to give them another go. I was under the impression that Griffs and the monkey cars shared the same tank too
Yellowgriff - will be following up on your e-bay suggestion too, do you have a link please as I am pretty much a e-bay newbie, not having ever bought or sold on there before !!
Clive - you also have mail, your skills seem never ending Cheers.
Would I be correct in assuming that there is nobody stocking an off the shelf tank for our magnificent machines any more ? Any 'left overs' if you like ?

My monkey car sprung a leak recently. Whilst looking at options I found second hand ones going around £200 on eBay and I think you can get a new steel one around £600. Think that was on tvrcarparts. Got mine welded in the end but also considered the restoration kit from frosts which had some good reviews.

I thought so too, rally fabricators and so on.
