As in how to share the Facebook link? Not sure.

Will look into photo posting problem though. Thanks for reporting it.

Excellent!

Reservations made, arrive Thursday afternoon.

Have you looked into purchasing a matched gauge and sender? There’s a bunch of various offerings on the market.

Thanks for the link to your site. I will be a frequent visitor, it seems like I can learn a lot from your experiences that you detailed. I enjoyed reading your story with your fuel sender, getting mine to read now is active battle I have been fighting. The unevenly spaced mounting holes seems so illogical to me, but I am glad I wasn’t the only one…[Read more]

Hey Stefan, nice find! I did mine a dozen years ago and paid a lot more for an original plate in worse shape than yours. (Story at link).

Originally these were bolted to the wood dash panel with those round-head screws, with a nut and spring washer on the back of each one. The holes they fit through are squared off so you don’t need to hold…[Read more]

So you are suggesting that I use sandpaper, and sand down the plate. Then, polish it up again?

Would that get rid of the scratch marks and discoloration? Would it not damage the plate?

If I were to do this, should I hand sand it? What grit would you suggest starting and finishing with?

Sorry for all the questions , I am unfamiliar with this.

Stefan

Originals were screwed to the dash with Phillips head screws. They were also usually painted black or tan.

Nothing wrong with going with a polished plate. You might have to make that plate look worse before it gets better; sanding with increasingly fine sandpaper, then polish (similar to sanding and polishing modern headlights).

Thanks, Ed.
