Gas Gauge is on the FRITZ!

Getting ready to change out my fuel sending unit in the tank. Also went and picked up a new filler neck grommet and a new fuel pump screen. Might as well change them while I got the tank down.

Ok well I got the work done but ran into a little snag. The plug for the sending unit was disinegrated. I called Ford to see about getting a new fuel tank harness and they told me they discontinued it. WTF?
I just had to make do with the wires and connectors.
Anyone else had this happen when trying to order a part?
