Mk1 estate fuel sender unit

#1 Post by willows40 »

As the title says I'm after a fuel gauge sender unit for a mk1 estate.
Looking at the usual suspect they list the stag unit as the one for the estates, but looking at what's in mine and also looking at my stag, The sender units are different. The one in my estate has the fuel pickup in the middle of the unit and no other take offs on the tank to move it, The stag ones don't have this fuel pickup pipe as has take offs in the tank.
It's a 1967 car if this makes a difference

Cheers Andy

Andy,
It might be worth giving Chris Witor a ring. I see that he has a used Mk1 estate fuel tank listed that has it's sender unit. He might be be persuaded to sell it to you separately.
Good luck,
Stuart

All sorted now, took sender unit apart and a good friend of mine who's good with electrics fixed it with a couple of bits of wire and solder and now everything works including light
