Rich do you know of a source for the copper washers? S.I. doesn’t carry them.

You need copper WASHERS not "SCREWS".

Check out ACE hardware. You won't believe the things they have.

For those who can't get a used or free neoprene float from a donor sender to replace a rotten cork float, Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. sells a replacement float, part number 05-03395, for $3.35. Shipping charges are extra. Modification of your current sending unit is not required as described in post #7 above. The hole down the center of the float is 0.165 inch diameter, so a larger outer diameter washer may be needed on the end of the wire to keep the float captive.
