We are learning as we go. Give it a go as the spares are abundant as is the advice available on the forum and through the club. Go to a club meeting and experience it yourself.
fuel tank sender ~ you can easily take the top off to check the inner workings. They are probably ok and will work. Mine had a cork float and a large blob of corrosion on the outside. Replacement is not the easiest to find but is available. The gauge may stick but will be basically ok ~ remember the third wire when refitting.
I'm well jealous.. the Ruby is one of my favourite cars. Unfortunately I'm not mechanical minded.

Good tips. The sender unit is cleaned and refitted. The resistance changed as the float moved so fingers crossed.
Does it has rubbers at the chassis?
Not sure what you mean, sorry.
There is felt between the body and the chassis.
On the fuel tank sender, if you drill through the tank, there is a chance of fuel leaking past the screws. Much better to have blind holes.
Good point but we have already re tapped the holes to a larger metric size. We will keep a check for leaks and fix if we find them.
