Subject:      Water reservoir level sensor float? (87 Westy)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

I've figured out part of the problem with the level sensor inside the
water reservoir: the magnet (? that big gray blob that runs up  and
down the pickup tube) doesn't float! I presume that there was some
plastic or foam floatation device that allows the magnet to float up
and down with the water level.

What is this float? Any pictures of it anywhere (outside of the
Bentley)? Replacements available? Any ideas how to rig up a
custom-made replacement?

I thought of getting some of that industrial packing-material stuff,
that white hard foam material and cutting out a float that would
work. How to attach it to the magnet? Don't want to glue it, that
would taste nasty in the water...

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Dave
