Fuel gauge sender fitting

[beanpole]

Just looking at my set of Gauges and senders from Pilgrim (ETB), the fuel sender has six holes whilst the tank only has 5 fixing holes , is this the norm?

My initial thought is to leave the tank undisturbed and re-drill the sender flange and make a new gasket. Then use self tappers to fit.

Where could I purchase the correct type of rubber for the new gasket?

Yup, another Pilgrim special !

The Fuel sender unit is the correct one, but you need to adapt the
Tank. I was advised by Tony to drill the tank and then fit. Just make sure you catch any swarf so the tank stays clean.

I drilled the tank useing rags and a magnet to catch the swarf.
If you insert the bolts "sticking up" these can be secured with a turn of wire on each one. loose fit the gasket, sender, washers and nuts, remove the wire and tighten.
