Do you need a flange with a single or double pipe fitting ? I've an early flange you could have but it off a UK bike and has a single outlet.
Part number 5JW-13907-00. Should't cost much to post from the UK as it a light item if its any good.
Having re read you post I think its the flange with two pipes you want .

Unless someone with charity in their heart, and a Gen 1 fuel pump flange in their hands steps up, here's a suggestion:
PM fudgejerkin1188 for his Gen 2 flange, then check out Joe2lMaker's post HERE where for a minimal price, you can duplicate the Gen 1 flange with Joe2lMakers fine fuel line fitting.
It's worth a shot!! Otherwise, good luck.

I can't help with the procurement of a fuel pump flange, but I bet Gerauld could fix your rashed up tank for ya.

My fitting will convert a GenI flange for use as a GenII flange with an auxiliary fitting. If you need a GenI fuel pump flange, my set-up would need to be reverted to the original configuration. Sorry.
That said... It is possible to machine a GenII flange to accept a GenI fitting (I have two OEM fittings I'm not using), but this would not be the easiest solution. IOW a PITA
One last note, all of these these parts are acetal/POM/Delrin

You want your broken flange installed into fudgejerkin1188's modified flange?
I think you'd be better off with one of these:
I removed it from a GenI Fuel pump flange madmike2 gave me.
You can have the leftover GenI fitting sans the "O" ring. I'm using the "O" ring in my GenII but you might be able to reuse the "O" ring from your broken fitting. Or, at least you can get the dimensions from it to buy a new one.
Modifying the GenII flange could be done, but it would require some time. The mold which produces these parts has a component called an "insert" which can be substituted for another. I would need to have both flanges so I could figure out how much material to remove. It would be more complicated than simply running a drill through there. In order for those locking tabs to function properly, I'm pretty sure the material removed would need to be conical. You won't be able to buy a reamer in the correct shape. That leaves making a cutter with the correct taper, or programming a conical path for a CNC mill.
It can be done. But like I posted earlier, it's not the easiest solution.

The locking tabs are already moulded to the fixing, it does look like your idea may work if someone has the correct tools and skill to machine the fixing.
PM me your address and I'll send it anyway.
