Why not just use the standard Sierra unit you can always extend the feed and level arm? You can buy new ones from Kit spares for £20 they are easy enough to lock into place with four small tabs tacked in place then knocked over.

IIRC the Sierra fuel sender has a range of 60..160 Ohm or thereabouts. I just adapted the innards of the Sierra fuel sender.
