I have the 3.3 tank with a Mustang Vintage seat for the 3.3 tanks...

If I changed my tank too 4.5 I would have to change the seat too, right?

When you switched out your tanks, were they raw tanks when purchased and if so, did you have any problems etching them before sealing them? We have etched the tank two times and there is still rust that we can't get out of the seam where it was welded together. Any suggestions on how to get it out? Thank you.
