greg g Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Remove the electric sensor, drill and tap the hole to accept the larger sensor, the question before drilling is, is the pocket it will go into deep enough to accept the new sensor? If not then go back to an electric aftermarket piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Ed Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 You might be able to use the guts from a 54ish gauge and swap the face over so it still matches your other gauges. Then you could retain the elec sender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughForrest Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 As long as it is the right bolt pattern I think you'd be OK.
