I want to keep the original 33/34 Ford fuel gauge appearance in the dash, modifying the gauge to connect to an electrical 12v fuel sendung unit from the tank.
I have dissassembled the original gauge, keeping the oval bezel and glass and am now trying to find a 12v gauge that i can cut and modify to fit into / behind the original oval bezel and glass. I dont want to cut a hole into the dash to fit a different model electric fuel gauge.
A under dash accessory gauge e.g. SW 12v round fuel gauge is an option, but i would prefer not to have anything additional but the original shape to fit back into the dash panel.
My question: has anyone done such a conversion / modification?
What donour gauge works with the original oval bezel and glass?

Can anyone help or even supply me with a modified gauge or parts for the conversion / modification?
Thanks for the help
