    You don't need a back plate for the fuel senders. Just tap the holes and screw it onto the tank. I used something called "sealube" from aircraft spruce on the tank fittings as well as the screws that hold the senders on. It is like a thick paste which does not harden, and is not soluble in gas. As far as the bend for the floats, it is approximately a 90 deg bend but takes a little trial and error to get right. I actually mounted mine with the floats facing back toward the inboard end of the tank to better measure fuel from 1/2 full to empty. Because of the slope of the tank in the wing, putting them the other way will read empty when there is still 4-5 gallons of fuel in the tank. I am attaching a photo of how I bent one of the senders. It is not pretty, but it works.

Yeah, probably finessing the darn sender in and out of the tank 20 times getting the bend right. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=337705#337705
