Just removed the fuel sender for a clean up and it needs a new gasket
the fixing screws also need new seals ,
Can onyone tell me what type of material I should use and where do you get it ?

I just made a new gasket for mine out of some petrol resistant thin rubber sheet. It's probably 2-3mm thick, made a template from what was left of the old one.
You should be able to pick up an offcut from Clark Rubber for next to nothing, unless someone else has a better idea.

Hi Griffo,
Rare Spares sell the gaskets but the screw seals I doubt you'll get anywhere. The original screws are alloy with a soft centre and are designed to complete the electrical circuit. I used small fibre washers with a small metal washer on top and all operates well.
cheers,
Leigh
