Aye beezer,

Select 'Forum' from the main menu bar [top right of screen, below Thumper Club banner]. Then enter 'resin tank' into the 'Search' box and press the 'Search' button. There is plenty of opinion, practical know how and bias in there to keep you ammused for hours! 

For materials, my predjudice lies with Frost's, suppliers of all sorts of preservatives for rusting hulks! 

This is the URL for: Frost

Welcome to the loony world, keep us posted and all the best with the 'patchwork quilting'! 

Regards, Bill.

with regard to the indicators.......you'll need to check all connections, including the plug onto the flasher (underneath the front of the tank)
next check the correct wattage of the lamps, should be 21w....
next....do they flash ok with the headlamp on and the engine running (i.e. charging the battery)?

certainly if my battery isn't FULLY charged then the flashers have difficulty with the headlamp on.

I can vouch for the POR15 tank sealant kit from Frosts. You get just the right amount of everything you need for an average size tank. It's a bugger of a job though.
