Anyone know where I can source the correct F1 taps? The nut is 19mm and they are dual outlet that goes straight through. No reserve position. Thanks

The F1 came with two petcocks if I remember correctly. One is vacuum actuated and and one is not. The vacuum one feeds the manual one. I forget exactly how the plumbing worked and how reserve was handled, but there was a reserve. It is a crappy system that doesn't flow well, is overly complicated and prone to leaks.
Mine is on a shelf in the hanger, replaced by two manual petcocks. I could be convinced to part with it.

Interesting , mine don't look like that one at all. I had no idea there was a vacuum set up for it. There are no vacuum lines any where . Just two identical fuel valves . Picture an upside down T sticking up into the tank. The forward facing outlet loops to the other petcock as a crossover line, while the rear feeds the Carb.

Then a prior owner probably modified it already. You are free to use what you wish. MikeV
