you might just about be able to see the sender unit with the tank still in place but the best bet is to loosen the 2 bolts then take out the other 2 bolts allowing the tank to drop a bit so you can see. bear in mind though that spanish & jap senders are also wired differently. if i remember correctly spanish have 3 wires and Jap have 2 wires!

as long as the sender has the correct amount of wires it shouldn't matter whether or not it is a bayonet type fitting or screw in sender.
