Great vid and I agree with the other comments...you sir are a genius. Would you consider repairing my fuel level guage? or would you be able to machine extra seals as you did in Option B? I would obviously pay you for them. I figure this is a better fix and would rather send you money than to actually buy a replacement gauge that will likely fail again. Please let me know. I own a 2014 MTS 1200S the OEM part number is 59210211B. Thank you!

@@Mr.BadMechanic Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better! Finally got it in with a lot of swearing.

Very good video. I've had the same issue with my sensor inside the epoxy: the crimped metal connection broke. Due to vibration or thermal expansion, whatever. In my opinion this is a major design failure so your repairable solution is a very good solution. Needs bullet-proof insulation against petrol since the sensor is right above the cyylinder. Sudden smell is a warning if it would start to leak. ;-) Next time I make the repairable gasket solution as well, thanks for the idea.
