Re: gas gauge inner nut
Just looked at some spare gas gauges and all of them are the 8 sided/star type. Could you post a photo of what you have?

Re: gas gauge inner nut
looks like a 8 sided one except it is a hex, I was going to take both inner and outer nuts to get re chromed. I got his tank and fuel gauge back in the 60s out of a junk yard. any place to get an original inner nut? thanks

Re: gas gauge inner nut
Has Allen passed on, or is he still making wrenches?

Re: gas gauge inner nut
I had this same hex nut on my November 1930 Town Sedan.
