Fuel tank sender screws

If our cherished suppliers don't have a gasket,  one should be available from an Austin Healey Sprite spares supplier

Loop on the end? What luxury!

More than likely. What I can see which would have covered by fuel is not too bad. It’s what I can’t see should be a concern. I have the gravel, it’s the cement mixer to agitate it all I need now.

As the tank was significantly cleaner than the sender unit I left it alone. All is back together now using M4 bolts. I now have the 5/32 BSW bolts and there seems to be no difference in the threads. ie either bolt or nut between the two types are easily interchangeable. Now if I have a to remove the sender I know I can get the retaining bolts out without having to remove the tank.
