I mounted my float gauge just to the right of the pilot's headrest. There was room for
it to reach the bottom of the tank straight down. No regrets on this. Has worked
fine for 11 years but even with the more open access it's still very fiddly to
fit the flange. I had to change the gasket a couple of years ago.

Putting it there also gives better visibility of the inside of tank when the
sender unit is out (easier to fish out the washer you drop trying to install the
flange !)

I put my unit in before it came a Europa supplied kit so there is a chance the
dimensions are different now, but I assumed it was the same unit.

Mod 60 has a sender probe that is a solid 1/2" diameter tube 13" long with a
float around it. This would prevent you from locating any place other than the

headrests as it can't be bent or cut down.

factor or the fuel in the saddle, which I think might be about 8 ltrs ?

Hi Rod.
I take it you mean the port side pilots headrest locker, and just outside of it so you can cut the hole much more easily .
So the hole is not actually in the locker but on the outside.

Yes, that's correct. Just to the right of the pilot's headrest, in the flat area between the two headrest 'lockers'.
