Hi Bruce,

I would love to get a set from you. Just let me know where to send the
money for three sets - 6 total - of the alluminum "sugar-cube" petcocks
(not the chrome plated ones). Just email me offline at

greg @ thisoldtractor . com

Thanks!

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.
