I haven't been on in awhile and not been working on my 49 F1 until about two weeks ago.. Taking the advice from various people on here I put a 66 Mustang gas tank in the rear bed with a Scott Drake sending unit in it. Everything went very well except for one silly simple thing and this is what's preventing me from finishing the project ! The gas sending unit does not come with a nut and washer to attach the wiring to it and the one on the 49 gas tank is not the same size . I have tried quite a few nuts and none thread on. Short of removing the sending unit and going to a hardware store with it in hand . ( I filled the tank up with 5 gallons of gas ) and that's not feasible does anyone know the proper size and thread nut ?
You should have gotten the nut with the sending unit but...since you didn't, it sounds like a good time to invest in a thread pitch gauge and a screw size gauge. Most gauges accommodate SAE and metric sizes.
I changed out a fan switch sender the other day and it had a metric nut. So I took it down to the hardware store and it turns out this particular one was a M4×0.7
Thinking the nut you are looking for may be the same.
I hope it helps!
