So I opted to have it sent out and have it "cloned" only this time made with aluminun instead of sheetmetal..
I got lucky and found an NOS aux pickup/sending unit on ebay..
Wow that thing is sweet and I'm afraid to a$k!!!

Dropped it today and it needs help. Supposed to have my Radiator guy check it out. I'm hoping for the best. I found one at justtanks for about 7 big ones. Ouch.
