Cory,

I replaced my tank with the Dansk reproduction suggested by kampala.  Fit was perfect, and 1/3 the price of OEM from M-B.  I'd go that route. I got the sticky backed foam from M-B classic center.  See pics.

I'm told the MB Classic center is selling the fuel senders for a reasonable price now.  Have not confirmed this, but it was from a very reputable source.  John

The fuel senders do not interchange. You will need to change the gauge also.
A quick search will get you the detail information.
