Thanks for the reply, I have one to replace on my 30' sports coupe that i'm restoring, I had bought both cork & plastic floats so i'll give the cork a try, those A's are fun to work on I built a 30 p/u from an old AA cab that was a basket case and bought a new p/u bed for it along with rear fenders and running boards, new stuff doesn't like to match up with old without using a drill to re-align holes, I have a 29 fire truck running chassis minus the body i'm working on at the time 2-b, continud

I've heard different opinions about using cork vrs a solid plastic float that won't decompose with todays gas.

@john6218att I heard the same but found that the corks are specially treated to withstand modern fuel. I have had this one in service for two years without any deterioration and the cork I replaced was in great shape after being in the tank for at least twenty years. I replaced the old one because it was improperly installed, not because of any cork problems. Also, the Model As and Model Ts were designed to run on pure ethanol so modern blended fuels should not be any problem at all.

what happened to the brass washers?

@509SC The brass washers are used with the cork gasket kits. The neoprene gaskets do not need the brass washers.

Next time, show close-ups of the parts including the gasket. Then I'd like to see the installation more closely. While I like your comments, it's like watching you do this from across the street at dusk. For the next video, show me how you mount a tire and tube.

Thanks for the comments. Those are great suggestions. I have another gas gauge with all the gaskets so I can shoot a video of all the individual parts. It will make a lot more sense then.
I just changed four tires but next time I will film that procedure also.
