Oiltek fuel gauge mounting?

[Lord-Spanner]

I have purchased an oiltek long range tank (it's like a piece of art work too) with a sender and fuel gauge as I don't like not knowing how much juice is left in the tank, so to those who have this set up how/where have you mounted your gauge? I don't really want a legshield tool box as that's where some are mounted so any other ideas/pictures please?

HI do not have a fuel gauge but how about having a bracket made and fix to the top of the leggies using a horn cast fixing the cable could then come up inside the horn cast?

Cheers Shane

Yes Shane, I found a 52mm mounting pod on ebay that can be shaped to the legshield profile, just in the process of blending it in with a skim of filler after bolting it on, will post some pix when I've finished it.

Id be interested in the style of sender unit that oiltek use, Ive not had much success with the adjustable type

I think the gauges and senders are acquired from a boating company, give them a bell and ask the question, they were very helpful when I spoke to them.
