I’m definitely going to be drilling a drain hole in the bash plate. Did you do that?I got a pattern part replacement a few years ago after I got fed up of trying to plug leaks in my old one.
What I did is sealed up any gaps where water might ingress where the bottom plate meets the main body of the tank, then put a thick coat of dinitrol all over the tank before fitting.
I forget how long it's been but it still looks good, no signs of rust.
I think I might 2k epoxy prime the old tank too. Belt and braces.
