I have got hold of a Vespa legshield toolbox, which i am going to fit to my GP over the winter.
I want to fit a fuel gauge, with a sender installed in my standard petrol tank.
Want to do this on a budget, has anyone got any recomendations/tips.
cheers

That float on the sender looks a bit long.
Do you reckon you could fit that in a lammy petrol tank??

bought a universal set up from demon-motorsport on fleabay, cheaper than the one listed above, the float is too long so i just cut and re bent the wire for the float, ...simples

that's the one, i have a stainless 13l tank from ssp, you have to cut hole in top of tank the rubber gasket that comes with gauge kit is your template.
i used an epoxy glue to bond nuts under the five drill holes to mount sender, athough i am sure some self tappers and some petrol proof sealant would be fine
i just cut the length of wire that goes through the float to shorten it to tank size, gauge seems ok quality also
i can post some piccies tomorrow......

cheers Minotaur, some photo's would be helpful.
DJB, how did you fix it into the tank & what fuel gauge did you use?
