new fuel tank - UK alternatives to Toyota Main Dealer?, Help! Toyota charge £400 for a new tank - FFS Options

Please help - Does anyone know of an alternative UK source for a fuel tank?
I will only go to Toyota as a last resort due to their prices -£400 - You would think they were flying it business class from Tokyo!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the meantime i will keep searching
cheers !

A quick update...........

I went for the new tank - less hassle in the long run. I didn't need the retaining straps - they were ok...ish so the full price was £352.

I helped my brother-in-law (who is a mechanic) to remove the old one and refit sender unit, breather hose etc. to the new tank. Saved some money by welding on a new section of breather pipe next to the flange, the original was a bit knackered.
If I had put this into Toyota they would have charged a fortune. While the tank was removed I cleaned-up the underside to remove any loose rust, painted the heat shields and then undersealed the whole thing.

Anyway 8hrs graft later the underside looks like it just rolled out of the showroom!
Looks like the next job will be to replace the sump!

thanks for the advice!

cheers
