If you read my latest post on headlamp adapters you might gather that I've had some unfortunate experiences outside the club with word getting out that there is a cheaper alternative to the extortionate US adapters. I have now limited availability of these to club members only, My advice to you would be to do the same with your superb sender re-con unless you're charging a viable rate to make the grief worthwhile.
By the way I assume this will work with the ie model senders which have the power supply cables for the internal fuel pump going through the sender body. They work with a thermistor much the same as the carbie ones.

Thanks. I wasnt really intending to start production, what I have written about above is simply that I had ordered a couple of the relay boards so had one spare which I have made up and those costs above are purely parts costs (probably under, in fact).
I did read your headlamp post, and you are right about having to charge a decent amount to cover the ag.
And I think thats where my sender falls down. Theres around £40 or £50 in parts, so i I suppose I would have to charge £100, and thats just not enough of a discount on OEM to be attractive.
But if one's handy with a soldering iron it might be a DIY proposition.
There are other issues, too. Its not proven long term yet and I note the source of sensors at £25 from PiHut is limited, after that I can only see them at £35 and above.
The principle will work in the ie but Im not familiar enough to say how the installation would work. But more than happy to have a look at it if someone posts a diagram or photo.
