I bought a used Pingel petcock off that auction site and did not really like the generic adapter plate Pingel sells so i made my own. it accepts all stock Suzuki gaskets. pix....

Why didn't you make a petcock? :p
Your reserve will be much less with that adapter plate extension.
 
Very nice machine work my concern would be how far the valve would hang down
 
thanks for the supportive comments guys. when assembled, the standpipe ports are in a comparable position to the oem petcock and it hangs no lower than the oem unit. closeup pics make it seem large but its tiny; less than an inch tall.
 
the pingle reserve capacity is given from the thinner adapter that pingle sells for there valves.
you would guage off of this rather than comparing to a factory fuel valve.
maybe not enough fuel difference to tell but i think the pingle plate is 3/8".
again nice machine work..
 
stunning work

stunning work

Stunning work there. So you lose a little of the reserve, no big deal: Adjust it, it's not that hard!
So would you produce these for fellow GSers? And if so could you give us an approx idea of cost?

Cheers, Mike.
 
It is very nice work. It seems like it would be straight forward to recess the pintos to the same depth as their original plate.
 
ummm, then you would have little to no threads NPT...ya know?
pintos...and beans or a ford product?
those not so often used words get me every time...though i do love pintos and cheese....mmmmm :D

i do like being able to use the factory o-ring though..
can i assume this is free hand or was CNC produced?
 
blowerbike, this was made on a Fadal CNC mill using GibbsCam software to draw the geometry and program the code. design is mine; reverse engineering by inspection of the factory petcock to obtain critical dimensions. that o-ring groove would be a tough deal on a manual mill.

for those that inquired about buying one, i'd love to, but for personal projects, my work requires that i do things only for myself, on my own time, and not for resale. for the benefit of using their machines i feel obliged to honor that agreement. the goal within the next 5 years or so is to have my own CNC, or two

way above my pay grade but very very cool.
 
It's a nice looking bit of machining. When you get your own machine, let us know and I'll likely have a petcock adapter (or similar) from you.
