WTB - Low Fuel Sensor - NUT

Duk748 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-07-2008, 03:01 AM

Please check your garage to see if you have a BAD low fuel sensor. If so, I need the nut off it. The only way to get this from Ducati is to buy the complete low fuel sensor assembly, and I am trying to avoid doing that.

They have now become smarter and upgraded this to a metal nut

Thanks.

I may have one, but I may also have an answer by the end of the month. Im having aluminum nuts made as I have run into this issue many times.

Ducman, I'll take an aluminum nut if you have them made! I need a nut also, and the only replacement metal ones that I've found come out of Australia for $$$$. I think an affordable fix to this problem would benefit many people. Keep us updated and Thanks!

Is the nut that difficult to replicate? Couldn't a machine shop do it?

Its alot easier if you have access, or know someone with a multi-axis CNC Lathe.
