Hi All
I just got finished with the original tap on my '60 Bugeye and here is what I
used. Not only did I replace the red fiber washer but also the pot metal
base, both parts I got from Moss, and both were of very good quality. The
origiinal sealing material for the tap is Water Pump Packing which is a fiber
packing (string material) impregnated with a lubricant. It is availible from
Restoration Supply Company in Reno, NV. The last number I had for them was
(702) 825-5663.
