    Petrol sender unit

    On my MK 2 roadster I have what I assume is a Ford petrol tank with a broken sender unit (Top mounted)
    can anyone suggest a replacement unit I can fit as I am struggling to find one on ebay.

      The Roadster tank was a MK1 Escort Van Tank.
      Depending on your instruments, the Escort sender is a poor match.

      I think it was Jez Cox who grafted a Marina Sender onto an Escort flange to get accurate readings. Published in Pitstop I think.

      1984 Marlin Roadster SWB.
      1800TC, Unleaded ported head, stage 2 cam. Ford Type 9 gearbox, Dolomite Sprint rear axle fitted with MGF disc brakes.
      Three core radiator, Renault Clio vented front discs.
      The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

      Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

              Ben, that link is to the Clydsdale Bank.

              After some googling I came up with this...
