I haven't taken it out to get a look at it/repair it yet, but just wanted to know if there's a suitable replacement/alternative in the event I need one.

 

I've searched for them but don't seem to be able to find one. Am i not looking hard enough, or is there another model/vehicle's i can use?

Hopefully I can get mine working and won't need one.

 

Thanks!

I just did a quick search and they are available in several places. Look up for a 1984 Brat or GL to avoid the gen 2 gen 3 split. One was available here http://www.oemautopartsandaccessories.com/catalog/parts/view/n/fuel-gauge-sending-unit-785111000/v/subaru-brat-1984/vtec/45790/pid/c8623ea793bcfb83/

Thanks, I'll give that link a go and see. The last few sites i've tried haven't actually had it, but maybe this one is the one!

Before you order a new sending unit, check the wiring connectors for the unit on yours.

I have had issues with those on a few EA81's

 

Really not a "water-proof" type connection, so corrosion is going to happen.
