The hardest part of rebuilding this unit was getting the methyl alcohol inside through the small hole. I injected in with a medical syringe, about 10 drops at a time. With two people, one could pull the unit apart as injecting. Will see if I got enough alcohol into the unit in a few years when I put it back together. Solder up the hole and your go to go. Dell

Thanks Howard; That will at least eliminate the wire from sending unit to dash gauge. When the upholstery was done one wire was drilled into and separated, could be more damage behind headliner. Dell

Dave O; Please PM me your personal contact information and I will contact you when I get my problem solved. Dell

Thanks HH; I have tried three tank units and dash gauge reacts the same. I was afraid of grounding the sender with out help. One of the tank senders is an extra for my custom which I sold, if any one needs one let me know. I guess it time to wiggle under the dash. Dell

Is it possible to test the dash gauge by grounding the wire from the tank unit? My dash gauge moves about 1/8 inch regardless of quantity in tank. Thanks Dell

What is the application?

There are several cup and hook bolts you can see and staples with a metal guard that goes inside along with the cup and nut. The grill will require me to look for a bag of grill parts. Feel free to PM me for my phone number. Dell

As of today all you need is an 1/8 inch drill, soldering iron and methyl alcohol,
when I refill the the bellows with alcohol and solder up the hole, I will let you know if it works. The alcohol was a little over $20.

D. Dave; I have the lacing off of my 1200 and will get some pictures to you tomorrow if I remember. Dell

I rebuilding the thermostat on my 35 1200, I have the bellows, spring and cover. My quest is am I missing any parts? The spring is loose and question if that is correct.I have instructions from Second Chance Garage off the internet which shows a different unit, but have not found any information on the Packard unit-help!!
