A very old photo to test with.

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.

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?

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).
