Aluminum Fuel Tank Project / EFI Fuel Cooling

UPS delivered the Universal 73 ohm fuel sender today.

I again welded a few scrap 1/4" aluminum pieces together to make a mounting ring for the gauge.

Once welded up, I chucked it up in the lathe and turned the ring.

I then laid out, drilled, and tapped 5 10x32 holes for the gauge and 5 6x32 holes to mount the ring to the top of the tank.

I am going to recess the gauge about 1" - 1 1/2" below the top of the tank for wire clearance.

I also got the mounting plate for the recess made up.

I did a little welding on the tank before calling it a day.
