When I was working in a body shop back in 1974 we had an ingot of lead that we used to fill the rot holes in the tops of wings on old Rovers & Vauxhall's.

We also had a free pint of milk a day due to some sort of factory legislation.

Thank you all for your comments, and the pint of milk was to line your stomach as using lead, not sure it helped though?  :-).. hopefully those that have considered buying a new tank or linning theirs can now save some cash and time.
