    Hy,sory if told you something when you bend #2 float you change the high of rightt and left becouse you bend it from side ,if you ask me and how i have problems you must to bend from center,now you have diferent high of left and right side of float.and when you mesure the hight of fuel live video on normal mode not on fast that we can see after few seconds is the mesurenents is on right level,that with screw (mesuring hight)was good idea.

    Yeah,
    Im not sure if it is clear in the video but I lever both sides of each float tab, so to make sure the tab is level. Because, as you say, it will be inaccurate if you only bend from one side.. I found that bending from both sides to get each tab level was easier and more accurate than levering from the front and less likely to damage the floats.
    Thanks for your comment.
