I've used a universal fuel gauge from Ebay (I think) on my race car coupled up to a standard sender it works ok, although really we only use it for the 24hr race just for the drivers to feel confident that they have fuel, we pull them in after every two hours whatever the gauge says :-)

Colin,
not 100% sure, but I seem to recall some race cars being fitted with a fuel gauge from a Citroen GS.
There are a couple of those gauges on Ebay at present, but worth checking here regarding their compatibility with a 2CV sender unit before going ahead with a purchase.
