Create access hold for Fuel tank sending unit

Jan. 30 2010



After I get everything back together I wanted to make sure I could replace the fuel sender if it had any issues - so I created a access hole.  (check out the links thesamba.com below for placement)

I used a drill to start a hole then a jigsaw to cut it out.  (I made it almost as large as the cover)



Next found a "metal outlet box cover" to use as a cover (painted black) - I may change this out in the future.
(Here are all the parts I used):



Cover installed with the stainless steel screws (#10) with a lock nut and undermount sink bracket.





And the finished Cover installed:
