Default Vans Fuel Selector Rebuild

I have a Vans brass fuel selector that needs to be rebuilt on my RV-6. Does anyone have the size of the two orings that I will need?

Does anyone know what my fuel level needs to be at? I found a previous post that listed less than 2.5 gals per side on a 6A.

Thanks,
Chad

Default Unused Vans brass fuel selector

If you want to keep flying without overhauling, I sell you my unused "Standard brass-on-nylon 90/180 degree 4 port valve, Part Number = FUEL VALVE" leftover from my -7A build for $30 ppd. The tiny pointer was ground off per the building instructions. Otherwise, it's in new condition.

I chose to go with an Andair valve instead.

I keep a spare with all fittings already installed at the correct angle. One can afford to do this with the brass valve from Van's.
