Thanks David. In the end all this work will be pretty much hidden inside the hull and behind another plate. But I love a challenge…

Speaking of challenges, I decided to give it a go and rebuild the original fuel tank level senders. Considering the visible condition of what I had to start with where they were just as rusty on the inside as the outside and the mechanics were seized, I wasn’t sure if they would turn out.

I was able to clean them up using the citric acid bath. I was worried at first about the solution damaging the resistance strip, but thankfully there was no damage.
