Brief Description:  setting float for SW fuel sender

I mocked up jig to represent the tank, and drew a pattern on a piece of cardboard to
help get the float rod trimmed / bent to the correct shape.

since this is a different sender the the factory, the dimensions in the plans wont work, but i used the same basic process to fit my tank

i tried to get the float to hit the bottom stop just before it touches the bottom of the tank, and hit the upper stop right before it touches the top of the tank.

WARNING*** these float rods are stainless steel and very hard. Harder than my diagonal cutters. after i broke my cutters, i tried the bandsaw with little effect.

i was successful with a cutting wheel in the die grinder.
