The ones I made for my Eldo have been leak/weep-free for over 3 years. They
are made from a sheet Viton. I use hole punches (got metric ones now) and an
old gasket as a template. They go for $.50 each since the Viton is pretty
expensive stuff. I've found two versions of Ambo/Eldo petcocks, Orlandi
('sugar cube' style) and 'other'. Tell me which one you have, and I can
make them up.
And yes, I'm making millions!!!

Be advised....
There are two versoins of the Guzzi petcock.. The V700 are different
than Ambo/Eldo ones.. as I understand.
I got some rubber ones from a lister. Haven't put them in yet....

Hi Alan: I've got a shop making me a bunch of teflon ones. They won't break down like the rubber ones and are self lubricating. You won't have to strong arm the petcock open. I should have them in a week. The price will be $4.00 including postage. John 67 V7 & offspring |
