Well my saga continues in the rear of the car. I have just put a new gas tank in the boot and have stripped one or two of the threads in the top of the tank where the sender fits. I first installed the sender with a rubber gasket but found that it passed fuel. I changed it for a cork seal and blow me down if I did not strip least one of the threads whilst tightening it down, I had not used much force but the screw just turns. I am in the process of reproducing the fix that I developed on the old tank that was hand made by someone. They had used self tappers and a rubber seal and I converted that to set screws and cork gasket - worked a treat.
I am trying something different with this one, the first one incorporated RivNuts but I intend tapping the threads into 6mm ali. I will post details on this thread when my piece of ali arives.
