Where are you finding these petcock bodies? I have a '65 CA77 and I need to rebuild the petcock or find a modern replacement that fits. I thought I found a modern petcock with a 3-hole base that would bolt on but had several leakage issues.

I've installed one on my C72 and it's been working perfectly for over a year, but it required a few adaptations because it had some faults.
