I do, but shipping would be a pain in the @$$, and expensive.

How is yours broke?

JB weld is a wonderful thing for splits/holes

Shovel handles are wonderful for popping out dents

get some gauze and SEAL-ALL , file down the old rust/crap sand nicely and put a gauze patch with lots of seal all around the bad area. THen get some aerosol undercoating for vehicles and give 2 coats. be good as new.

I used to have a GSL-SE it is very hard to find a tank for. Do yourself a favor and put a new one in, you will be better off and have no chace of rust or foreign crap clogging your filter or worse.:
