I'm not a big fan of epoxy drooling into fuel tanks. Maybe add one or two very small flush screws through the tank into additional threaded holes in the ring? That way you can mount the ring first, the gasket would still seal and you may not cuss as much later. Still use a wire while you are doing it though. Be very careful about using a shop vac to pull the cuttings away, they make excellent ignition sources - don't ask how I know that...

Hmmm , that`s a pretty shade of blue. Don`t forget to tip your hard working pilots and stews.
You`ll need 2 long screws so you can hold the Wilbur shoe and have room to move things around. maybe 2 1/2 -3 ". Put these through the top of the sender, gasket, tank, and into the shoe. Use the long screws to line everything up. Pull long screws up and put short ones in.
Put a loop of light mono through the center hole of the shoe as an oh snap preventer. Remove before seating the wema.
