Fd fuel level sending unit

Recently purchased a 93 that had been sitting for approx 10 years with a bout 1/8 of a tank of fuel. Needless to say the tank is rusted filler neck ( metal portion inside of tank ) is rusted and very little is salvageable. I have literally looked everywhere I can think of but I cannot find a level sensor. I have already purchased the radium engineering surge tank but still need a working level sensor.. any ideas? Miata? Other make model?

I just saw yesterday on the RX-7 Facebook group that someone was developing a replacement part, I'd check in to that.

Otherwise it's trying to find a good used one.

In theory some other sender could be used (like from another Mazda) but no one has spent the time to pioneer that effort.

The sender has 2 components, the arm that goes up and down that gives the fuel level and the round "can" on the end of a rod that lights up the Low Fuel light.

yes, however they are still in development so no eta on completion. I have source a Miata unit that is similar in ohm range. Going to try to make that work
