Is your old one actually cracked and damaged beyond repair? If yours is still physically intact but just really dirty inside (like mine was) you can drop in a handful of small washers and some brake cleaner, shake it up and then empty out all the washers. The friction from the washers bouncing around inside will clean out the impossible to reach nooks and crannies.

If your current one is beyond repair your best bet may be to find a good used one and then clean it out using the same method.

Here's a before and after of mine after cleaning (I also replaced the master cylinder):

I don't think I've ever seen a reproduction tank or even a cross reference part number to a new tank from some other car, but they may exist out there.
