The car looks great. When I did mine I took a piece of cardboard to parts heaven. (a local all porsche bone yard) Made a templated with the card board. Then I went to the hardware store and purchased hole saws in the exact size that I needed to cut in the tank. I placed the cardboard templated on the 912 engine bay and drilled the holes.

I would suggest going with the early style tank to make things simple. An original early style tank is about 100 -150 from a bone yard. They are getting harder to come by since most early cars are now being restored regardless of the condition.
