What I did was take a short piece of wire and solder it to the pin on the VR and then shrink-wrapped it to keep it insulated.  I then crimped a spade connector at the end of the wire.  I have a quality (a.k.a. expensive) wire crimper so I know my crimps are good and will last.  The right pin (red wire) of the VR connects to the right spade/tab on the fuel gauge.  The left pin (black wire) is what gets the +12 volts.  Note the spade connetors are being used -- the red wire has a female spade connector and connects to the fuel gauge while the black wire has a male spade connector and is connected to the +12 volt black wire from the gauge cluster.
