Abstract

A bracket 41 is provided for mounting a support arm (39 see fig 1) in a fuel tank (1 see fig 1). The support arm (39) carries a fuel level sender unit (35 see fig 1) to measure the level of fuel in the fuel tank (1). The bracket 41 is made up of a base portion 73 and a coupling means (75 see fig 4). The base portion 73 is to be fixedly mounted on an inner surface of the fuel tank (1) and the coupling means (75) is suitable for pivotally coupling the support arm (39) to the bracket 41. A locking device is provided to secure the support arm (39) in the coupling means (75), the locking device comprising a bore 89 as a guide channel for receiving a thread cutting screw 52 or other fastener to lock the support arm (39) in the coupling means (75). The support arm (39) can pivot about one axis or may be mounted as a ball in a socket. The invention also relates to a support arm (39) for mounting in the bracket 41. The invention facilitates installation through an access aperture.
