Title: WTB - Fuel Level Sender
Post by: 85-K100-Cafe on November 03, 2017, 07:51:02 PM

Hello, i am in need of the plastic joint nut that connects the fuel level sender onto the bottom of the gas tank for an 1985 BMW K100RT. I am willing to buy the entire fuel level sender but more importantly i am need plastic joint nut. Unfortunately the part is discontinued, it is part number 5 in the diagram.

What is wrong with the one pictured. It is hard to work out the size from the picture but looks very similar to a barrel union nut. You might want to try a large plumbing supply, or possibly a hydraulic place. Post the dimensions and the thread size if you can.
Regards Martin.

In the USA, plumbing supply won't be metric.

The world is our marketplace. Supply would seem to be no problem. Our struggle in the US of A
is with understanding and accepting the simplicity of the metric system then buying more wrenches and larger tool boxes. :giggles

I had a couple of OZ XB  Ford  Falcons and some of the bolts were metric and some imperial. :dunno
