Good Result
Hi Joel - I am glad you found the switch plate. Even though I have a plentiful supply of the ball handle toggle switches, including several of the elusive fuel switches, don't lose any more. I would like to see some dash images and whether you have resolved the high/low beam issue.
Bob

Thanks again Bob
We just started our March break so I'll get some pictures afterwards. Have not solved the high/low beam issue as almost all of the students are scared of wiring/ electrical work. But I did find one who said she would try and tackle the job after break. So wish her luck when we get back. Joel

Ok, so neither gas tank floater works, when school gets back the students will try to see if they can be fixed. If they cannot, is there an easy replacement or not?
Again I await the responses of the masters Joel

NOS is best.....
Princess Auto sells a Chinese model.... on size fits all.....bolt pattern is almost identical to the CMP 5 bolts..... not sure if the Ohms/resistance will match the gauge on the instrument cluster.
Fall back is a small wooden stick painted flat black..... stick it in ..pull it out ... if its wet your fine for a while.... been driving my farm tractor for 20 years that way...... ....and carry a spare gerry can just in case.... asection of aluminum foil can be used as a funny funnel.... Bob

Problem with the cork floats
Hi All
Just a comment on using any gas gauge with a cork float, if you are in a part of the world where they have or are considering adding ethanol into your gas. Various members of our MV Club have experience sinking of cork floats. Interesting problem in that if the float sits in gasoline containing ethanol they become saturated and then sink. Take the sender unit out and let it dry and it will work fine for a while before it sinks again. Two solutions have been tried one is drying the float out and then dipping it with gas tank sealer which is rated for ethanol/alcohol, this seems to work. I have not heard of it failing, but given the cost of the sealer unless you are going to seal the tank to is expensive. Second method that I have used is to replace the cork floats with brass floats which are available from various sources. Cheers Phi

Hey
Well it definitely has been a slow pace for the last little while. For some odd reason, the students are afriad of wiring, so it I have been bribing them to do the work. This seems to work, most of the time, for now. We have been contacted by the Fort Erie Grand Parade committee to see if we would put the CMP in their Grand War of 1812 Bicentennial Military Parade. So now the ephasis is on getting it ready for a parade, which means making it drivable and putting removalable brake lights and turn signals. So much to do and so little time Joel
