robin craig Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Dear All. We are trying to find two things in the following order:- 1 What is the part number for the part shown below, this is the tap that selects the fuel supply down under the floor plates inside the Fox 2 who has a spare one? Both myself and Richard Bannister have looked in our parts books and neither of us can find a part number. Using a loupe I have carefully examined the tap and have found engraved markings as follows:- "ASSY 8096006 C 1SSD" and "S.N.F.R.T.R104/S" I have shared these numbers with Richard and they don't jive with anything he has. I have attached a photo of the offending item with a toy for a scale reference. Any help gratefully received Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINGODOUG Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hi Robin, As luck would have it the fuel tap is not shown on a diagram in the parts list as you know however there is an entry on page C8 which refers to item 19 ; Valve , plug, non-lubricated FV 774062, part no LV6MT1/4820-99-821-5329 which is described as a Fuel Tap. This could be the culprit as there is no sign of anything else answering the description. Unfortunately I don't have a spare and the only possible supplier I can think of would be Bannister who I think advertise on MILWEB. On the other hand I could sell you a complete Fox which would save you the effort! cheers Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Dear Doug, Thank you for your detective work, thank you indeed. I will go and compare notes with Richard Bannister and see what we can come up with. How much do you want for your Fox fuel tap with the rest of the vehicle still bolted to it? What shape is it in?

robin craig Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 For the eagle eyed you will have spotted the damaged threads on the left side. Does anyone have one of these not attached to a vehicle for sale? Bannisters do not have one. What about a suggested repair for the thread? I am thinking take the whole thing apart and silver solder on a new threaded piece if I can match he thread and pitch. Any suggestions?

andym Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Is there any chance of tracing the OEM? Does the parts list have a manufacturer's part number? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Dear Lee and Andy I have pm'd Mr Pemberton lets see if he opens it. No email to send one to. Andy, I will have to check. In the meantime, if we can not scare one up then this is my intended repair. Forgive the kitchen table drawings, but they work for me. Step 1 shows the existing stripped thread Step 2 shows the remains of the thread removed, likely by a file, nice and slow and accurate. Step 3 sees a pipe fitting such as the one in the other picture placed over the old piece and cross drilled and pinned and then silver soldered in place. The cross pin is to give the shear strength in rotation and the silver solder for sealing and strength also. Does anyone have any comments on this?

andym Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 You need something like an external helicoil, if such a thing exists. Incidentally the FV432's fuel cock, which isn't dissimilar, carries an OEM part number of 508BR10 if that helps. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
