Fuel sending unit hole in seat pan question.

Post by chasendeer » Mon Jan 19, 2015 8:39 am

On an early low window slat, what would be the correct shape of the sending unit clearance hole in the lower sear pan? Round or square?
Thanks
Jay

I don't have the answer to this but maybe there is a resource in the UK. This Ebay link is expired but it is from Universal Jeep in the UK. He was selling what he called "Original Early Front Seat" back in 2013. Maybe if you sent Cliff an email or a question on his account, he would be able to drum up a photo of that seat.

A round hole - then modified with tin snips to account for an alignment issue with the sending unit
