I am in the process of restoring my RPU. During my restoration project I am finding a lot of places are out of stock on a many of their parts. I know with Covid and shipping issues its difficult for businesses to keep things in stock. I was looking for a fuel gauge since mine is currently eroded away. I have been to all the main stream vendors such as Snyders, Mikes, Berts, Brattons and quite a few others. All the vendors are currently out of sotck on the gas gauges. I even resorted to looking for one on ebay and found soneone selling one for $1000.

With some of the other parts I thought I needed I have managed to salvage the original part that I thought was non salavagable, isn't it great how well they made things back then. I was wondering if anyone else is having problems finding any paticular part? If so what parts are you looking for? I'm just curious.
