 |
|
I'm getting ready to bend my fuel float attach 'wires'. How do you verify that they're within 1/8" of the top and bottom?
You certainly cannot see in there with everything closed up.....
The only two things I can come up with are:
1. Putting the mounting plates inside out on the opposite tank and using a straight edge to see where the floats end up - that assumes that the tanks are symmetrical....don't like to assume......knowwhatImean?
2. Mounting the plates with a spacer so you can see through the gap to find out where they end up as you rotate the tanks from right-side-up to up-side-down.
I'll take any ideas here folks.......

Ralph,
Make a temporary clear plastic mounting plate so the installed float position can be seen using a flashlight. One will work for both sides.
