I thought maybe I could get some advice here on fabricating an extension shaft to fit a Weatherhead fuel selector valve. I just bought a one-of-a-kind Meyer 360 and wanted to 'improve' the fuel system design by adding a fuel selector valve so I can feed directly from 2 tanks. I can mount it and have a straight shot to the instrument panel (ie. don't need a universal joint). But I don't have the valve yet.
My questions are:
1. What is the shaft diameter of the shaft on the Weatherhead valve?
2. What would you use as the shaft material for a 2 foot extension?
3. How would you connect the extension to the valve stem?
You guys area wealth of information on adaptation of parts to unique installations and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
