Hot Rods Fuel Sending Unit Float

i need a float for my '42 Fargo's fuel sending unit. I presume it is the same as other Chrysler units of the same era. Don't want to buy a new sending unit just for the float. Any ideas? Thanks.

 

A PICTURE IS WORTH A 1,000 WORDS OR THE PRICE OF A SENDING UNIT......

 

Well the float has gone. The shop I took th stank to to get cleaned did not remove the sending unit before they tanked it so it dissolved. Therefore... No pics.

 

Even a pic of the arm that it would mount to would help determine what kind you need.

 

Used to could buy brass round floats at the Ford dealers

 

Ask a guy at a late model garage. Many newer cars you have to change the whole unit when the pump goes. They may have a junk one with a plastic or foam float that you can make work.

 

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that.

 

graft the late model one to stock arm.
