The gaskets that I'm offering are for the Ambo/Eldo chrome plated brass
units.

These are being cut on a water jet to insure dimentional accuracy and
consistency for long life.

I've tried making my own out of a host of elastomers and have never been
happy with the results. Especially the difficulty in moving the petcock
stem due to the lack of lubricity in the elastomers.

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.

Is it possible to rebuild the weeping petcocks on an Eldo?

I thought I read/heard somewhere that it could be done.

Thanks.
