Gas tank fixing...

Anyone know of a place that could fix a gas tank with 2 holes in it cheap? My XL80 has 2 holes in it. Probably needs sealing also. Or doesn anyone have a XL80 or 80-84XR80 gas tank sitting around?

I fixed the pinhole leak in the tank of my old Bandit with some two part epoxy stuff - made for gas tanks - that I picked up at Car Quest. Quick, cheap and dirty, but it worked.
