I am assuming that this is something that would have to be done exactly right or the problem being encountered here would be expected. If something can be done wrong some one will do it.

Is it never done succesfully? What is to be done for seeping at seams or at the steering bracket.
I'm all ears.
There are various levels of repair.

Best; cut open the tank, remove the old solder and rivets. Re-rivet and solder to seal.

Next best; go to a '31 style bracket and the sand and seal the area where it is seeping.

Not so good; just sand the seeping area down and use jb weld to seal it, and don't use the steering wheel to help yourself into the car.
