Capacitive fuel senders

Anyone got recommendations for what brand/model of capacitive fuel senders to use for my RV-9A? I just got my wing kits yesterday and thought I should start getting any extras on order.
 
The company Princeton that did the capacitive converters I used in my setup got bought by someone called RED Avionics. Their devices are identical as far as I can tell, except the sticker. I have one of each in my -7A.

Or you can make them. Vans version is just two plates each side insulated with delrin spacers and wired together to a BNC. The OP drawing has all you need

Best to make your own senders. You can buy the converter modules or even make them yourself, if your handy with electronics. Refer to the thread linked below for more info.
