Don't really need the whole kit, just the threaded sender. Anyone know where I can get just the sender only? Thx!

I have seen two different types of senders used: one is an optic sender and I think it was available from the old Skystar org. (but I don't know where in the open market to get it) and I think it required the you paint the header tank black so it would work.
The other is a float type sender. I used the float type sender and that is available from Aircraft Spruce. The part number is 6905-400 (Fuel Warning Sensor).
There could others as well so maybe someone else can provide additional input.
That 6905-400 float is pretty slick, looks like 1/2" threads is that right?
Is that what's already tapped into the tank on the Model 5 headers? or did you
have to add your own flange?
I used the float type straight into the tank threads, use a good thread sealer.
(can be a PITA to take out again but it is possible)

same part # as War Eagle from Aircraft Spruce? Also are you able to do the 'wing-shake' test to verify it's still working? seems like the header tank is so full that would never work even with an optical, but I've read guys do it...?
Yes, same part number. Have not tried the wing shake test, have tested at intervals by clamping the mains and running the engine.
