That sounds pretty good to me David and pretty well proper too!
As we says in Brisstle - “Proper Job”!

Hi, has anyone fitted a midget/sprite sender unit? If so did the Austin gauge work with it. Does the needle swing from side to side when the gage is turned upside down? Just fitted midget sensor but gauge not working although T wire straight to earth & gauge reads full. Any suggestions re a fix or source for a compatible modern gauge would be very welcome.
Thanks. Kevin. BTW. The car is 12v.

I fitted an early Morris 1000 sender to the Opal I had. The gauge worked back to front, so I removed the float rod from the pivot shaft and reinserted it it from the other direction. That made the gauge with happily. The existing rod needed a 180 bend in it. If this description doesn’t make sense I can do some photos using another Moggie sender I have.

Here is the before and after.
Full position is now the empty position on the sender.

Thanks for the pictures Roly. I’ve now found out my sender & gauge are both ok, but the sender is outside the range of the gauge. Will try to adjust with resistors.
