Paul, Randall - I've been looking. I found pictures of the Omix-ADA
Fuel Level Float Part # 17729.01 for Jeeps. It may work, but I can't
seem to find any stores in the region that stock it. May just need to
order one to try it. I saw the brass one for the Mustang (FM-EF005B or
C0AZ-9202B), but also saw a comment that the groove was too big for use
on a Spitfire. Looks like Ford uses a thicker wire. May try and take
the sender to a Ford dealer parts department and see if they have it and
it fits.
I've checked TRF, Moss, and Spitbits and can't find the float. I also
looked at my GT6 parts catalog and don't see a part number for the float.

If you immerse it in a pan of hot water, the leak should show as
a stream of bubbles. Continuing to gently heat it should
eventually drive off the liquid fuel. Let it cool (and suck air)

I don't have my notes handy, but ISTR someone saying there is a
Ford part that will work. Older car, might possibly have been a
Mustang II (but probably not).<br>
