The metal strips from the sender to the pump were originally covered in plastic; obviously, the coating deteriorated to the point where it fell off. You can replace them with wires, but it would have to be the right kind of wire with a fuel-resistant coating. Also, it goes without saying that the connections and terminals would have to me soldered. As far as sourcing the right kind of wire, almost every car on the road today has an in-tank pump; it shouldn't be hard to find a defective sender at an auto repair facility or junkyard to grab the wires from.
