Re: [MBZ] early 107 fuel sending unit
So looking at the epc there are 2 different tank styles. The first diagram is different than my tank. My tank is like the 2nd one. On the first diagram part number 1075420004 is shows as up to ident 009072. This part comes up as NLA. 2nd diagram is definitely my tank style which has the plastic expansion tank above it. The unit there shows as 1075420804 and as of ident 0344421. Looking up this part shows it’s available but appears to be the later style that screws in. All the parts catalogs lists it for applicable to 73. There is also a 3rd part number which is the 2nd style shown on the first diagram which is 1075420404, it shows for as of 009073, but also up to 034420. I googled this part number and it looks like it could be correct; but not sure. It’s available but is around $321.

Re: [MBZ] early 107 fuel sending unit
The R107 is built on the W114/115 chassis - many parts interchange. I don't know what a gasser fuel sender from one of those is like, but they might be possibilities.

Re: [MBZ] early 107 fuel sending unit
W110/111/112 had this type of sender, too, as I recall. I’m not aware of any conversion that allows the later sender to be used.

IF the electrical portion was compatible (similar length of the same resistance wire) you could probably sacrifice a junkyard gas tank to make a metal-plate adapter that gasketed in to the existing hole, and had the screw thread fitting in the middle of it.
