Senders
I have original 6 volt Chev ones NOS, although they need some gentle manipulation to move after 60 years of storage. Some of the cork floats have been gnawed by rats too!

Pre chewed
Hi Keith,
I have a few unchewed floats for these senders and I have been gently manipulated parts out of storage for years. I'll send you a pm...

Problem with the cork floats (in the US)
Hi All
Though this problem is pretty much localized to the US there is a problem using cork floats in the US because of the E10 soon to be E15 gasoline with 10-15% ethanol. Cork floats become saturated and sink. Problem seems to be that the cork floats were actually treated/sealed to prevent them from absorbing fuel, the ethanol dissolves the sealant and the floats sink. The other part of the problem is that the E10 fuel is now corrosive enough that it is attacking the sender mechanically. Sorry for the rant but us in the US with antique cars are being had. Cheers Phil
