I have been looking at all of my regular metric tool contacts and I
cannot find a 12MM -1MM tap. Anyone know of a source?

Hi Brian, The thread size is 12mm x 1mm. The tubes on the petcocks were different for the right and left petcocks in order to serve as a reserve... The left petcock had a taller tube and the holes in the tube did not go all the way to the bottom. The right petcock had a shorter tube and the holes in the tube went clear to the bottom. The idea being to turn on the left petcock...the, when you run out of gas, turn on the right petcock. The commonly available aftermarket one's replace the tubes with wire screens that go all the way to the bottom on both sides. brian c wrote:
