What's strange is what are the senders made of???

It states right on Livorsi's web site not to use any sealant or Teflon tap on their senders ( metal to metal ) I would bet most guys do

We've all done it at one time or another. Sometimes it will work and some not. But ya they make it very clear on their website and the instructions that you pitch in the trash prior to install.
