1973 Tiger petcock replacement gasket?
Does anyone know if replacement gaskets are available for fuel tank petcocks?
I took both petcocks apart to clean and the gaskets shredded when soaked, with the other parts, in acetone. I thought two possible things happened. First, the acetone just ate up the old rubber. Second, the gasket was under pressure from the inner spring of the petcock for over 30 years and it expanded when it soaked up the acetone.
I've ordered replacements, but I would like to rebuild the originals and return them to their home.
