<VV> FC Gas Tank

[Keith Hammett]

As Lon points out the sender does use the 5 bolt pattern instead of the cam
ring.  However the rheostat is attached by two screws, so one could attach
it to a corvair pickup tube.  Seams pretty simple to me.

On my tank it doesn't matter what style the flange/seal is on the new
rheostat.  I just needed a rheostat that matched the original gage in the
FC.  When the tank goes back in the rampside it will be Stainless Steel with
a Stainless pickup tube that the rheostat gets attached to.

As pictured this will not work (except POSSIBLY on a 1960) because of
the flange/seal arrangement. Too bad, as we are all trying to get less
expensive senders. Lon
