Wow! Thats a serious setback rightfully!
Did you remove the float/fuel pick-up and vapor cap before airing them or not.
If not, Fiat X1/9 carb models are similar. Not easy but also not impossible to get!
I have a left and right hand tank in my garage which I would be happy to photograph and measure for you.
You also posted a wanted add for deauville parts I noticed. If you need other parts let me know or send me a PM.
