I've seen floating "peas" or mini ball specially built for this.
The Grumman AA-1, AA-1A, and AA-1B had an Airworthiness Directive (AD
78-13-04) requiring the installation of floats on the fuel site gauges.

Wouldn't placing a small piece of cork in your site gage tube increase the
visibility of the fuel level. The cork would always float on top of the
fuel level in the sight gauge. You may need a screen to keep the cork from
going into the fuel tank when the tank is emptied.

Mc Master Car has clear tygon and they also sell an adhesive backed ruler that
would work great behind the tube along with the float and you should be set.

Paul,
I'll assume that you already have some type of graduated scale behind
the tube. Without actually seeing your set up, a suggestion might be
to put a 'float' inside the tube.
My two cents worth

I have been using a short length of Tygon placed vertically on the instrument
panel for my fuel gauge. The Tygon is yellow (comes that way) and it makes it
difficult to see the height of the gas. Any ideas for a clear substitute? I
tested some vynal but it "hardens" if left in avgas.

Are you saying the tail wheel crushed the into the structure in the back??
wouldn't that need the framing redone there?

Here is a link to a you tub vid on fiberglass repair. Thi
Where repairing the wood skin, use wood. Then if you want to put a light
layer of glass over it, that will be good. For fiberglass skin, I would do
exactly what you are planning.
