Those same turnbuckles are available today from Aircract Spruce. They are expensive but then again they are rated for aeronautical use. I don't have part numbers handy though.

I also just redid my original fuel tank. Poured muratic acid in. Let it sit on each side for a couple of minutes then sloshes it around to get the baffles. Rinsed out with many gallons of water and a box of baking soda. I then used the tank etch and sealer from Mac's AutoParts. Did two coats of sealer and it looks great. I also soldiered up three pin holes before sealing the tank.
