REFLECTOR: Fuel Sight Gauges

[Alex Balic]

There is a guy here in Texas , Vance Atkinson that makes sight gauges for
Long EZ and Velocity- he molds the gauge out of clear plastic, then it bonds
to a white plastic backing, with fluorescent bead in there- really good
quality, and they are pretty much unbreakable, since they bond directly
against the fuel bulkhead.

What I would like is to put a little floating ball in there that is 
smaller then the tube ID, but larger than the brass fitting ID.

The ball should be flourescent, so that an ultraviolet LED mounted above 
will cause it to brightly glow.

Does anyone know where I can find such a beast?
