I did mine by removing the tank. A pretty significant task. On the Cabriolet the tank is under the cowl not a part of it like many other body styles. Once the tank was out, I had the rivets welded in place and replaced the column mount with the later '31 style. And I had interior of the tank coated with a sealer by a local radiator shop. Since most of the firewall had to come out to allow removal of the tank, and much of the ignition wiring was disconnected, I took the opportunity to replace all the ignition wiring.
