Need new floats, where to buy or how to make?

I found out the problem with my gauge, both floats sprung leaks and filled with fuel, I accidentally stepped on one so its all screwed up and it looks like the other one has been soldered up before, so I just want to get new ones or try to make some. Anyone know where I can get them from?

yeah, since they filled with fuel, they just sit on the bottom, so it reads empty because its not floating. Mince are brass, and one has been "fixed" before, I just got the truck last weekend so Im fixing all the problems the PO didnt
