I am in the process of refurbishing my wing tank gauge fuel gauge 
(while I already had the tanks off for something else). I bought the 
new "bubble" sight glass, a cork gasket and a new cork float from 
Univair. I cleaned the numbers up on the gauge and everything looks 
good. Now, I have 2 questions:

1.) I need another cork gasket for between the gauge and the sight 
glass (the other one is for between the gauge and tank). Since I only 
received one from Univair I would like to make another one. I wonder if 
that "make-a-gasket" cork gasket sheets that you can buy at the Auto 
Parts store would be okay (and just use the one from Univair as a 
template)? If not, I guess I could just have another one sent overnight 
to me from Univair.

2.) I purchased a new cork from Univair and was wondering if it would 
be okay to use some epoxy to hold it on the wire arm since I had to 
destroy the lockwasher that was holding on the old cork. I have the 30 
minute two-part epoxy like you buy at a craft store and mix together 
the resin and the hardner. Has anybody used this stuff for this purpose 
and is it fuel-proof?

Thanks,

Mike Watts
