I have installed cells, but I have always replaced the in-tank pump with an aftermarket in-line pump with regulator. I'm sure you could possible modify the factory pump assembly (pickup tube length, and mounting hole in new cell) but I feel it easier to get a good performance pump and mount it close by.

Riveting would be a bad idea due to the hassles of repair at a later date. Weld on a ring with threads or use some nutserts(threadsetter).

The factory sender can be bent slightly to get it to read right in close to factory dimension tank.

When I had my stainless tank made,I used a donor tank to get the stock flanges. Than used a Venom pump,pushes 20% more!
