Well I have got the gauge working the right way and with the sender out, but can only get to read up to a 1/4
Mmmmmm
For another day me thinks

What would happen of you fitted an inline resister, would that increase the reading to 'full" ?

I have absolutely no idea
But at the moment empty is empty, and full reads 1/4.
All set by moving the sender float up and down.

OK. Try this, failing having a 10k resistor to hand, get a 21w car bulb (indicator), and put it in line. Does the reading increase? If so that is the way to go

The guy I met from Spiyda Design at stoneleigh last year was incredibly helpful when I discussed mine with him (I hadn't fitted their unit at that stage, but had purchased it a year earlier). I recommend you give them a call and explain what you have done so far, they seem a nice bunch willing to help.

Have spoken to them and yes, extremely helpful.
Couldn't solve over the phone so sending all parts to them and they will match it up for me FOC

I've used the same sort of conversation box.

Mine had two adjustment screw. One to adjust the needle movement (empty to full) & the other to adjust the size of the arc. Mine did the same as yours until I change the size of the arc.

I had to go between the two with small adustment to get it right.

Your cars coming on great

Cheers.
