It's a solid pipe that bolts on. Mine was rotten
So I just cut the union of the sender
And ran new rubber hose instead.

I cut the threaded joint off and fit braided rubber fuel hose from the tank all the way to the fuel pump.

Awesome, i cant afford to re run the lines with braided, i only need a small piece to go from tank to the original pipe work.

Thanks for the idea guys !!!
