Least Shoddy Fuel Sending Unit?

Well I'm an electronics tech so soldering is second nature to me. Originally when I got the car the stock sending unit had all sorts of problems. It was leaking around the 5/16 outlet and the phenolic board inside had become detached from the electrical plug. I fixed that all up, but I was able to do it at my leisure because I had access to other cars. Not the case anymore.

What I did wasn't that hard though. Anyone with a soldering iron and some time could do the same. Even if the phenolic board wires are completely toast, you can always get new wire and wrap it yourself.
So first step is find the nichrome resistor wire with correct per inch resistance the mechanically secure it like factory since solder wont stick to the nichrome. good luck
