The Ford Barn

Does anyone have a picture or drawing showing the location of the gas tank sending unit Access Hatch location in the trunk of a 1936 Ford Cabriolet or Rumble Seat Coupe. My 36 has no access door in the trunk. It must be a replacement floor.
I NEED the hatch in relation to other objects in area so I can cut a small hole in the floor to access the unit.
Also is there a positive AND ground wire going to the unit?
Thanks

See attached underside of a cabriolet body. Single wire to sending unit.

Thank You. That is perfect. One wire to the sender and am I correct that the tank grounds the unit to the chassis?

Yes, sender grounds through tank to chassis. I like to run a separate ground wire from one of the sending unit mounting screws to the body or frame to make sure of a good ground.
