Default Where to get sending unit flange?

I'm looking at making a small surge tank for my lq4 conversion in my FJ55(Land Cruiser)

Surge tank is going to fix the issue with the short flat gas tank that an FJ55 has stock.

What I'd like to do is make a surge tank that can use the stock GM sending unit/fuel pump unit.

So, the question is where can I get a sending unit flange?

I'd rather not buy/butcher a new tank to get it.

Check Summit. I think you can order an aftermarket sender and a matching flange.

The only things I've found that are "sender" related are aftermarket sending units and they are 5-6 bolts holding it on.

I want to use a stock Chevy fuel pump into the surge tank. Thus, I think the "easy" way is to use a stock sending/fuel pump unit and the associated flange.

Unfortunately, so far, I have not seen a source for the flange on the tank.

Find an old tank at a junk yard and butcher it up.
