Hi
I made my own. it is pretty easy and they work so far.
Get some Viton sheet rubber, from a hardware store.
Unscrew the large bolt beneath the handle on the petcock and use the
circular pressure plate inside as a guide to determine the size of the
gasket. I just held it on the sheet rubber and traced it with an exacto
knife.
Then insert the cut out rubber into the petcock body and press down with a
dowel or something. This will give you the impression of the little input
and output pipes in the valve body. Then go buy a leather punch, like the
one I got a Sears and punch out the holes. Someone suggested I spray some
silicone lubricant inside the petcock, which I did.
Let me know how it goes.

I could really use a couple. My Ambo is just about ready to roar for the first time. Some leaky petcocks are standing in the way. They are chrome plated brass with no reserve position, meaning the seal only has 2 holes. If someone has a suggestion about a replacement petcock I would be happy to listen to that too. I'm not too worried about originality. Thanks!! Darrell Dick Imlay City, MI ============================================================ Good, Better, BEST!
