Size:  8.1 KB with a screw in the center hole holded by two nuts , and with the tip of the screw pointed and rounded and set at 25.5mm from the bottom of the plate surface will be the stop which the tang of the float will hit. You pull the float up by using a fine bent wire and pull it up from one side.
