I stripped, refurbished and reassembled the fuel taps. They were covered in fuel/dirt mix, paint and corrosion. They were mounted on one correct bracket and one botched steel strip. Both have now been mounted in brand new brackets. I am fitting 4 new plunger switches (on order) for the automatic fuel guage change over. The taps required a new internal gasket as the originals wsere badly perished.
The 2 new taps I had bought on-line some time ago are the return-line change over taps for twin-tank diesel systems. They mount on an extra bracket which attaches to the primary bracket, and are operated simultaneously to the feed tap by a lugged collar and operating rod that sit on the feed tap’s handle-shaft.
