Ah that's a bugger. Annoying but there's always a solution. You might be able to drill or punch them out then make a new stud putting a bolt in the back side and using epoxy to hold it in place. If you have to drill make sure you cost the bit in grease to prevent shavings from falling in the tank.
Check the new for correct resistance values. If that checks out, have a look at the wiring/plugs leading the gauge. It could be as simple as a bad pin.
Nice DIY Cam! Would have never thought to try and fix a sender, but I guess sometimes you don't have a choice!
I know nothing about cars and quite frankly could care less. But I found your video fascinating. So I think I will watch a couple more.
Welcome aboard!
Nice! Thanks for the guide!
I'm really curious about the airbags! Any chance you know what those are and if they're any good?
Excellent work.
Thank you!
I have an L400 1996, do you know if it has the same style of fixable sender?
Hi Jim, I've not done an L400 yet to confirm for sure, but I am fairly confident the 400 will be the same style.
Broke the studs, guess I'm in trouble

I fucked up I threw it away after getting the Amazon replacement and now the Amazon replacement doesn’t do anything
