Neat, Baz.
I'm considering splashing out on something like this rather than getting UK odometer for mine. I can't quite justify it yet though, I need to work on my excuses to myself.

Would be mint if you could somehow incorporate it into the tank.

did think about that but that would mean messing the airbrushing up.

What you pay for that then?

I've sent a few out and was tempted with one myself but I went for two smaller digital guages instead - but they are good value the Koso stuff.

You "raped" them mate :smt005

Good on ya :smt002

If you don't have a fuel sender salvage one out of a honda tank (Koso set up for them) mark and cut/drill out the holes, put a new seal on the float sensor and use "toggle" bolts that you use in dry walling to secure it to the tank - sorted. :smt003
