Michael,
Your finakl analysis was correct, it would be a good idea to purchase a
new tank at this point even though the mounting flange is the problem
and not the tank itself. That flange is not only not available, but
even if you were able to spend enough time and goopage to stick it back
together again, the tank or some other part of the system would no doubt
drop out leaving you in the same situation again.

Spend your time and money in renewing the holding tank system with a new
tank which will use a new style gate valve as well. This will give you
a dependable system and thats what you should want, "If you fix it only
for the day, it will probobly break again tomorrow!"

Cinnabar carries a replacement tank, you might also call "Ardemco" and
talk to Rick Glasser. They sell a very good tank which uses a standard
3" outlet that you can easily attach a new style Valtera brand valve
to. His ad appears in GMCMHMP. If you need his #, call me tomorrow.
