I agree, but it is darn disgusting to spend $$$ on something that is so unreliable! Particularly when a simple, cheap solution is better, just not as "elegant".

>>> Hi All,
>>> I've been doing some experimenting / fabricating with getting my fuel sending units installed in my SERG. I wanted to come up with a means of flush fitting them inside the fuselage and I came up with this, please see attached picture.

>>> I made a mold for this part so I could replicated it for both sides which gives the added benefit of being able to reproduce them reasonably easily. I wanted to see if anybody in the Velocity community would be interested in a set. I'm not sure how long it would take for me to fabricate a set and I haven't really settled on a price yet. I was hoping to gauge demand here. If you're interested, please feel free to drop me an email offline at: peter.braswell at gmail.com.
