Added earth terminal for the fuel sender.
Of course I thought I was just going to swap out the sender and pickup assembly with the tank in the car - nope. I forgot there's a baffle plate in the tank that runs right through the location for the pickup, more adjustment needed. Had to do it the hard way.
Got the pickup and float arm tweaked to the necessary angle with the tank on a stand, and even managed to do a basic leak test by tipping it up.
According to the instructions, the Speedhut fuel gauge has a preset for the correct 40-250 ohm range. But I must have a mis-print because it behaves more like the 0-30 ohms shown in a different set of instructions I found online. So I had to manually calibrate empty and full positions but seems to work well now and certainly fixed the unreliable reading issue. The gauge does seem to have reasonable damping too, the needle doesn't swing up and down with rapid float movement.
Have had occasion to use the intermittent wiper control recently, works great but time for new wiper blades again as they don't last long in the sun. Decided to try something different to see if I can get more than 10 seconds out of them before they start shuddering over the windscreen. I've had a good run out of the flex blade setups, but they don't offer a fitting style that suits the arms. They still have a simple centre pivot though, just push the pin out and throw away the plastic adapters and it's pretty close. Made some stainless hardware to suit.
In addition to updating the blade holder this assembly has significantly less slop than the worn out originals which I'm hoping will help. They sound a little better running over the windscreen but it stopped raining so a proper test will have to wait.
