I meant Sender! Well here's what I'll do. Get a new sensor, to avoid it breaking on half so easily I'll put a little JB weld around the base of the male plug.

It's not difficult to not break. I have 4 Jeeps that all have that sender and I've never broke a single one.

JB Weld? Where? Just put a bit of #2 Permatex on the threads and install it using a deep socket. Keep in mind that it goes in on a slight angle. Don't need to reef on it as it has tapered NPT pipe threads.

Lube the bushing it pivots on? It's high up, you'll probably want to remove the lower dash panel to see it.

The squares? It is called welded wire. Usually standard sizes, like 4"x4", or 2"x2" squares. The smaller stuff, like .75"x.75" is referred to welded wire cloth. Comes in a sheet, 4'x8' typically.
