Had a reply regarding "made to order" magnetic rotary membrane
potentiometers.
>In general, we are able to customize any membrane potentiometer.
>There
will be a one-time setup fee of 400US$ and the minimum order quantity is 10
units.
>The unit cost will be 27.50 US$ and shipping from Germany (our production
facility)
I think I'll buy an off the shelf $10- version &
have a go at adapting it.

Sounds like fun Alan. The stock strips look like they could be used just
as-is.
The "strip" could be attached to the straight linkage rod, and the magnet
would slide along the rod on a loose "sleeve piece" that didn't extend. Maybe
just a heavy (1/8" ) wire to hold it steady while the linkage rod moved. Like
you said, then just two wires to send the signal to a modified "gas gage"
inside the sub. I'm looking forward to what you find out. Frank
