FWIW--I installed a new Moss tank sender a couple of weeks ago. The unit
seems to be much higher quality than the previous replacement version. I
don't have a picture of the coil, but it's tightly and evenly wound. The arm
contact seems to have a solid connection with the coil. There's even some
friction which may hold down the gauge-bouncing a little.

These pictures were taken yesterday after going through a couple of tanks of
gas and there is no leaking. There's no gas odor in my trunk for about the
first time ever.
I used the stock Moss rubber gasket that came with it, covered on both sides
with Hylomar. The screws & steel-backed rubber sealing washers were covered
with Hylomar, then inserted into the holes.
The washers are shown and I bought them from one of the home improvement
emporiums (OSH). I previously used these for a while inside my valve cover
and they seem to work fine in hot oil, so maybe they'll hold up in gasoline.
I'm using pan-head screws, but with these steel-backed washers the stock
cheese head washers should work fine.
The white wire's a ground to the chassis.
