bend / adjust the float-arm inside the tank?

How about this http://www.technoversions.com/MeterMatchHome.html

i can get new aftermaket senders 10ohm full  180 ohm empty should work

Been a while since I've done maths/ohms but

Assuming the float is usually supplied 12v

Vn would be full12v/40ohm= 0.3A @gauge

12v/290ohm=0.041A @gauge

If you reduced the supply voltage (chuck a potentiometer in and adjust to correct voltage)

With mitsi float

5v/17ohm=0.29A @gauge

5v/120ohm=0.041A @gauge

I could be completely wrong but that works in my head?

Am I missing something?

Adapt a VN sender to fit the L200 tank?

Adjust the lever length to suit throw and braze/tig VN sender frame onto the L200 base.

Vn fuel tank an option ? Is there room can you be bothered be far easier then braising a fuel sender ring into your old tank. Cut out the risk of blowing your face off.

Bigger tank has to be a good option if it can be done.

I'd be tempted to chuck an electronic 5V voltage regulator in at the sender to try that out.

Just thinking as I type/tap though, do you actually have 12V at the sender rheostat? Maybe some voltage is lost at the gauge via a movement coil?

Only had my sender apart couple of days ago funnily enough, never chucked voltmeter on it tho as was obviously a holed float and ohms were ok...

I'd try a 3 pin 5V voltage regulator then (TO-220)?
Costs all of around $2.30 at Jaycar (plus road trip to check it works)...
