... since NOBODY makes a sending unit for the 1st gen rangers, I am curious on how to adapt a universal kit to a ranger fuel tank?

after I bend the foat and stuff, the dia of the sending unit top piece is slightly smaller than the OEM sender.

What would be the best way to make a adaptor for the new sender to fit in the Ranger gas tank?

I am thinking perhaps a machined piece of nylon bolted to the new sender and thin enough I can still use the OEM lock ring.

Basically I don't want it to leak, and I need to use materials that are not affected by gasoline, I am not too sure about nylon, perhaps a better material?

Ideals?
 
Don't know about "universal" setup.

I have sent my old one to Tri Starr Radiator for rebuild. Have heard good things about their work.
 
Cool, I just sent them a email.
