Would I have to seal the threads that the bolts go through into the tank, also on the original tank the mounting ring is welded to the outside of the tank with threaded holes that don't go through the tank, the sender unit is bolted to the ring with a seal. So if I cleaned up the original mounting ring and used it on the outside with your idea of a split ring on the inside what would be a good material to use as a seal between the tank and the outside mounting ring.
Yep, the threads or bolts would have to be sealed. Nitrile rubber gasket material is sold for fuel tanks. Having someone capable like hunter weld it in would be the better way to go if you can. I only put forward possible alternatives as you seemed reluctant to weld the tank. |

Well, went on a road trip today down to hunter's with my petrol tank took me just under two hours to get there. Went to his lock up, not what I was expecting, he has an Aladdin's cave. What a nice fella, I reckon there was about an hour to hour and a half of work done and the rest talking. he cut a hole in my tank then welded the fuel sender unit in, now I have a tank with a fuel sender. Part from getting my tank done I met a another monkey. Thanks hunter for a good day it was good meeting you.

Very pretty Merv. What are you going to do for the timing mark ? MM knows a great engraver in Spain.  |
