The best place to get a replacement fuel sender is going to be Jim K as you know you will get the correct item quickly. You could also check with Jim B and see if he has any in stock too!

You can get them rebuilt if you take them out and send them out for repair.

You could call and check on pricing or if they still do them.

If you want two, fine, but you can get by with one in your main tank. When it gets down to 1/4 tank, you will still have the same amount in your auxiliary tank (about 7 or 8 gallons) to get you to a gas station. If you run the main tank dry, switch to the aux tang and head directly to the next gas station (within 50 miles).

I just shipped mine to United Speedometer Shop in Riverside Ca. $85 per sender to do a rebuild. Mine were pretty crusty with rust, insulation peeling off sender wire, etc. We'll see how they turn out.

Here's the website: http://speedometershop.com

I seem to recall that Dan Gregg used to rebuild them. Are you still doing that Dan ?
