It looks like the same thing as the Westach capacitance probe which is what I've got in my KR. ?It has 5 holes for 3/16 screws and should come with a square mounting plate and gasket. ?You bond the aluminum plate to the side of the fuel tank where you want to mount the probe. ?The probe goes through a hole in the center of the plate and the base mounts to the flange using 5 3/16 screws or bolts. ?I had problems with them weeping under the mounting gaskets off and on until I finally sealed the gaskets with some west epoxy. ?If you have an aluminum tank, you could weld or rivet the aluminum mounting flange to the tank. ?The picture at <http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/westachSender.php> shows the mounting flange (even though that particular unit is the older 12V version of the probe).
