Not saying this is the right way, but I had my fuel pump die on the side of the road and the clip disintegrated. I clipped off another clip, but there was not gasket at all. I ended up using a 20v hot glue gun.

I actually have a small can of liquid electrical tape I was going to "fill in and paint it up" with to make a gasket if I can't find one.

In case anyone needs to do so if they break theirs the replacement fuel sender connector is standard motor products #903 for mustang fuel senders, says 87-93 but other vehicles used that connector. The #904 is the repair connector for mustang fuel pumps but has offset locating tabs so it won't fit without trimming one side of it.

So i got the 84/85 mustang gt fuel sender a few days ago and began some work on it to "make it work" in the tbirds tank.
The sender has 5/16 and 1/4 outlets and was 18" long from the bottom of the plate.

I might pull that up some with a bender since that is the max depth of the tank.
Im having a hard time finding the sweet spot to make the senders arm sweep work in the space in the tank before i solder the sender on. I may have to get creative with it and swap the arm with the one it originally came with.
