Only pic I have to hand is in archive called 'rear_brake_lines'. The sender top plate is about 70mm diameter. Its most likely Ford but is it Escort, Sierra or Cortina ? or are they all the same ? ? ? I need a seal for it anyhow so need to know what it is.

Thanks

James

Looks like the standard 'Smiths' type, ETB sell the sender maybe they could do you a seal.

Not yery difficult to make one though out of some rubber sheet, 2mm thick approx on mine.

Would a cork seal do the job? I have used cork floor tiles before as gaskets with good effect. I had to buy a pack last time so i have a few left. If you want a piece let me know size and ill post you some.

My sender, from a VW hippy wagon, has no holes for fixing! Will use a liquid gasket
to fix and seal.

i used some kit / pu adhesive...

and an couple of sheetscrews..


Tks

looks same patern as used on early MiniVan/Eastate Just use thin cork or thick gasket paper or the cover a of a yellow pages phone book to make a gasket.
DON'T USE ANY TYPE OF RTV INSTANT GASKET.

Yes DONT use silicone sealer , I did when I built my car, where the fastening screws pass through they take a little bit of silicone sealer with them , then those little blobs drop of finto the tank ,and as they try in turn to get up the fuel line the car grinds to a halt with fuel starvation!!!!!

Really funny by the time you get to the sixth blob......
