Good afternoon...I'm with Russ/40...I used to live in Fletcher Hills...not too far from Santee...If you use the modern hanger for the steering wheel, and disconnect the old one, and clean and sand the area around where the old hanger connected to the tank, where it normally leaks...let the tank dry for a week or so...then epoxy will hold for a long, long time...several Model 'A's that I know of have had this fix...once epoxy has set up...give it a few extra days to cure before putting gas back into the tank...Ernie in Arizona
