for the sender:
the replacement sender I managed to get from VN possibly V6 tank was same length as the sender I was replacing for VN V8 which has 2 pumps, in tank low pressure, and external high pressure pump.
First time I had a real close look side by side, and you can see the replacement sender which came with high pressure pump (longer pump) length to length sender its same, however the fuel pick for lower pressure V8 pump (rusty sender) has a long fuel pipe
The difference is approx. 30mm. so decided to cut a piece of pipe 30mm long off old sender and tig weld onto replacement pipe, this way I keep same setup as it came with VN V8 senders with twin fuel pumps (in/out of tank)
for my setup I'll splice the pump wires together as was provided on the original VN V8 twin pump setup
Most probably go with bosch 044 fuel pump as I'm in two minds whether to upgrade the engine for another 100hp, and considering we have come this far stuffing around with fuel tank thought I might as well shoot for larger pump now and set and forget so not playing around with another pump latter
anyway its all interesting, these sender are not all straight forward as one thinks
