We used the bottom of a glass jar (with a "hat brim" about 3/4 inches wide

made from aluminum, plastic, cardboard or whatever) as a male mold for our

fuel sender fibreglass cover.  One can adjust the height, the cover has a

nice low flat profile, and one can find a jar of almost any diameter.  We

covered the mold with parafin wax before putting on the fibreglass.  We

put a slight curve in the hat brim, roughly to match the turtle deck over

the header tank, in our case.  Later, we taped a piece of fine sandpaper

to the turtle deck, and sanded the hat brim to give a perfect fit to the

turtle deck curve.  The final cover with a neoprene gasket was put on with

8 #4 SS sheet metal screws.  It seems to work well, and looks good.
