Somebody must be able to help ?

Hi

There are commercial three way fuel valves, I'll try and dig out some sources, but I have never found a modern valve which is identical to those used on Chevy CMPs.

Maybe with some pictures of old and new valves you will be able to find a local source.

Cheers Phil

I bought a modern 3 way tap from 'Thread and Pipe' here in Bournemouth UK for my MK2 carrier. Then I found an original at Dirk Leegwaters site which is now nicely installed. Click on CMP, Armoured and scroll through. Ron

Here's a photo of mine, sorry about the delay but it was packed away in a box. No part number on it that I could see but the makers mark is quite clear.

I would appreciate if anyone could provide dimensions of the 'L' shaped lever that attaches to the valve as mine was missing this piece.

I copied my lever from a NOS one, didnt take any measurments at the time so just had the pleasure of doing it in place (cheers to everyone who has done this for my requests), hope the photos and measurments help. I had heard that there was a second type of tap for NZ LP carriers but I have not seen one.

So after loading my photos looked at the ones Ian had posted and there goes the other type of tap that I had heard about.

I had a look at the tap lever thats still in 1824 and its not in the shape of an 'L'. Its a brass piece of flat with a round hole one end and the square hole for the tap in the other. Any way thanks for your replys, at least now i can see exactly what it looks like so i no what i have to look for.
