Daniel, I was wondering where you went?
I'm relatively OK as are all my LBCs now.
Finding an axle for an A40 Farina was a bit tricky in the USA but many
thanks to Paul Asgeirsson for finding me one and getting it to me
overnight.

Straight swap, I run a 1500 Midget 7 gal tank in my Bugeye. Bolt it up
and go.
You may have to modify the return fuel fitting on the later tank if your
Sprite never had this. Or drill a hole in the boot for the fitting to
fit in.
The sender will work with your present gauge.
