Not to sure what your asking in regards the first question. What way the fuel gauge in the dash goes in? :undecided:

Does the bolt have a nut above it? If it doesnt its a captive nut which has broken free. You'll have to cut the bolt off and either weld a nut in place or get a garage to insert a new captive nut.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

in terms on the fuel gauge are you talking about the guage on the clocks or the fuel pump in the tank. next thing which lower arm bolt are you talking about because theres 2.

the one that is horizontal?

or

the one that is paralell ?

i said the FRONT Offside bush the very FRONT one i think the captive nut has snaped off but cannot access it !

if someone could look at the TOP of the fuel pump in the TANK and see what way the arrow is pointing ... thats all i need to know guys :)
