Kevin,
My left sender is stamped with a number--385B 0201 and my right sender is
stamped 385C 0012. The sender portion of the two units is identical, but the
bolt pattern on the mounting plate is different. The left bolt pattern is a
mirror image of the right pattern.

Thanks for the answer, it seemed unusual that the only difference between a
left and a right was the bolt pattern on the plate but this is apparently the
way S/W makes them.

Kevin _ I remember being similarly puzzled. In the end I think I decided
they were not identical and I think the issue is the hole pattern in the
mounting plate. From very hazy memory the issue is this. At first sight the
three (?) mounting holes describe an equilateral triangle but in fact they
don't. Mine were QB wings so what the plate mounted to was already
installed. In the paperwork one sender was indicated as L the other as R
though this was hard to find. I decided that I could mount either sender in
either wing but they were made the way they were with this slight difference
in case it mattered in a different installation. As I write this I wonder if
I dreamed that all up, but I think not.
So the bottom line is that there is a L & R but in our installation it does
not matter much. The 'break' in the symmetry is the mounting plate.
Let me know if that is all horseshit!
Steve.

I ordered a set of the Stewart Warner fuel level senders from Vans for some
tanks I built, I thought there would be a "left" and a "right", the two I
got
appear to be identical. Can any of you guys who built your tanks recently
remember what the difference between the two senders was?
Thanks,
Kevin Shannon

Regarding the fuel senders - - - do not get these senders mixed up. Keep
them in the original boxes or label them so you won't confuse them. They
are DEFINITELY not the same. The tanks may be symmetrical but the senders
are set differently for the angle of incidence, I guess. If you install the
senders on the opposite wings you will be compounding the offset (doubling
the error). You may not discover this unacceptable mounting error until you
are flight testing. A real bummer ! ! There must be some stories in the
archives - everyone has some major delays earlier in the project, but I
would be really depressed finding a time-consuming delay at the airport.
