As a ragwing C170 owner, I'm having my wings recovered and a paint job done. I also had the fuel tanks pressure tested and standard cessna fuel caps installed in the "wells" that were sealed by a plate. A crack in the fuel gauge was indicated and I am looking for Scott fuel gauges. Does anyone know where to find them? I understand the someone has bought the rights to manufacture the Scott line of gauges but am unable to find them. Any ideas?
Also, can anyone tell me the standard fuel tank sizes and also if there was any options for variances at the factory and if so, what were the options.

The Scott gauges are now mfr'd by Rochester and are available from Aircraft Spruce 877-477-7823, PN 05-16700 for about $44.
The ragwing had three 12.5 gal. tanks, one in the left wing, and two in the right (interconnected to equal 25 gals.)
There was no other "factory" option (other than an 18 gal. baggage tank made by Javelin which is no longer available except second-hand), but some airplanes have been modified in the field to add a second tank in the left wing, similar to the right wing setup. This requires either field approval or STC.
