It doesn't need to be from a 14. Any petrol tank (or diesel with a wash-out) from any year BX will do. You could even fit an extended range tank if you wanted to.

Your 14re may have had a smaller tank, some of them did, I remember looking underneath one once, thinking you can actually get at the pipes

There's a fair amount of space to play with under there though, isn't there? The shells are the same so surely a larger tank will fit?

You're probably best off finding a recently-scrapped car in a scrapyard. Removing and refitting them isn't too difficult, just a little awkward. I live not far from Redhill so give me a shout if you need an extra pair of arms.
