2). My fuel gauge sits on E when it's at idol but goes up, to what I think is correct, as my RPM's raise. Any suggestions on where to start?

3). I don't love the cut that shows at the ebrake in the mat. Anyone have a better solution?
ANSWER to #3..get a piece of molded rubber in the shape of a long oval.. 3"by 5".. the distance of the stroke from brake on to brake off.. maybe make a slotted channel so it looks right couple of long screws.. just suggestion..
