Thanks for the photo Ben. That is exactly what I had planned on doing 
except for the solid rivets I'll get the flange from Wicks and see if 
it is the same.
Here are photos of what I've done to date:

Hi Stephen,

The picture of the external clecoed joint on your tank is a strongest 
joint for TIG welding if you have someone that knows the process. I 
welded my tanks and the holes for clecos were welded shut after the 
seams were done.

Just a thought, but the idea of worrying about riveted fuel tanks and 
using Pro Seal was not a concern that I could reconcile.  Aluminum has 
such a large expansion and contraction coefficient that a riveted tank 
really needs a lot of them close together to stay leak proof not to 
mention the corners.
