Morning all,

Putting a WB Stato dash in my ute. I assume I'll need to change the fuel tank sender to a WB stato one, and bend the float and pickup to suit? Or do I just get my sender or gauge re-calibrated?

Thanks, Steve.

Not sure on the fuel sender, but glovebox hinge is the hardest bit from what i've seen.

I think the gauge sender in the ute would work the stato gauge ok? Try it and see.

No it won't work. The Statesman sender has the same specs as a Commodore, while the ute/van unit is the same as HJ/X/Z.

I think the best fix is to take both items to an instrument guy & get him to put the Statesman resistance unit to the ute pick-up.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0

Thanks Doc. Who would you recomend in the sth west Sydney area. I've been told not to use the guy on the nth shore if I can help it.

Just for the others, using the commercial sender on the stato gauge, means the gauge starts at half full and goes up from there.

Steve,

Try these guys. In Smeaton Grange. They quoted me a few years ago to fix my tacho and the quote was reasonable I think.
