JG;

Repair looks good!

What was material of the original float that it was "rusted" and couldn't be repaired? Before installation, I suggest lubing Slider on Resistance wire with some Mobil 28 synthgrease (lubes contact area to minimize wear of R-wire, but is easily displaced by Slider so does not interfere with contact).

Remember when installing in Tank: Sender to Tank, and Tank to Chassis must have good elec connections...they are the return current path for Fuel Gauge...poor connection(s) in this path results in a generous/nonlinear gauge!
