1936 gas tank sending unit float

Alan, I do not recall having ever seen a replacement cork float. I believe you'd be best served by using a brass float. If your arm won't accept the brass type, let me know and I can send you the arm for the brass float.
Easy enough to swap arms.

Who makes the floats that slide over the arm where the original cork float was secured?

I believe that material is "nitrophyl",I replaced the float in my '37 several years ago with it. Works great!

Nitrophyl is a type of material used to make carburetor floats, known for being resistant to fuel and not absorbing gasoline, unlike traditional brass floats. It is often preferred for its durability and performance, especially in applications involving ethanol-blended fuels.
