Thanks Chris, nice to see you are still here, done loads by now I guess? :dremel:
Managed a bit more on my dry sump tank this evening ... I'll let the pic's do the talking ...
Sorekiwi:
A few (actually quite a few) years ago I worked on a can-am car that had a similar sounding tank (although probably about 10" in diameter).
The top and bottom were joined by 1/4" flanges on each piece, sealed by a large O ring, and held together by a dozen or so capscrews.
One thing you might want to consider is locating the return line into the side of the tank on a tangent and slightly pointing down, to swirl the returning oil around the sides of the tank. This reduces any splash and helps a bunch with removing the air from the scavenge side of the system.
Hope this makes sense!

Made a top piece, 2.5" thread, I figured small tops are a right pain for topping the engine oil up, so made it a touch on the big side to save spilling oil everywhere !! ... :)
