spider fuel tank

My 74 [spica] spider fuel tank has developed a leak [seam]. Finding a new tank seems impossible. Has anyone retrofitted a 'racing' tank compatible with the spica injection? A salesman @ International guessed JEGG? I do not use the trunk for much so an oddball shape should work for me. Thanks in advance.

I've seen a couple vendors claiming to be selling spider fuel tanks. I can't remember them all, but RH Hutrienne is one :

Also Linea Rossa has them :

But I've never ordered from either, so I couldn't endorse either.

Is it rusted too badly to be repaired? Fuel cells are rectangular and will probably require significant modification of the trunk area. I'd highly recommend against modifying the fuel tank for a street car.
