Hi,

I have several lever type taps from Army B40s.  I was going to use them but found that they all leak. I bought a brass lever type like the ones fitted to some Batams.  They leaked.  In fitted good quality new corks to my Ewarts taps and they do not leak.
In bought some Ewarts type taps from C&D Autos that have a non cork insert and apart from being very stiff to pull on they do not leak.

I stopped my fuel taps leaking externally like this . They could still leak into the float bowl but theres no evidence of it .

They do only wholesale to the trade, but you'll find plenty of sellers (especially on ebay) who sell LF Harris stock.
