New member with old gauge problem

I was able to obtain a NOS fuel gauge locally and feeling very fortunate, I want it to have a long and healthy existence. When you say "amputate" the limiter entirely, I take that to mean that your method differs from what I'm reading from RTE suggesting to just bend the points apart so they no longer make contact. I was looking at ordering their limiter but want to make sure I'm doing the right thing with the internal one? Thanks RedFish!
