1966 caravel black tank

So I saw old posting about preparing are removing a black tank so I tried it myself I was able to pull the black tank out of the closet instead of disassembling the entire sofa or closet space.

But I did have to cut off the screws from the waste valve because they were Rusty. I cut the vent pipe and the tank pretty much came right out. I posted a few pictures to show you that it can be done. But my problem is I don't know if this team can be repaired because all the tanks that they have on the market are out of stock.

I would like to know if anybody ever repair this type of thing and is this fiberglass or a PVC tank what did you use to repair it with and what are you by the flange for the valve at the bottom?

Thanks Al
