While it has been a long time, I think that I never had to bend the float arm on my sending unit. I use a Karmann Ghia sender now.

I've got two VW-based replicas, and have had to bend the floats on both of them to obtain the full range of operation because the orientation of the fuel tank is flatter than stock VW. IIRC it was closer to 90°. I use the 73-10 Ω VDO sensor because they have VDO gauges. Well one does. The other has Classic Instruments, but I specified a 73-10 Ω gauge to go with the sensor I'm familiar with.
