petcock question 79 gs1000

[Recoush]

For some reason the measurement for the hole spacing appeared to be 44mm ordered the 1702C adapter plate By a quirk I ordered the 46MM Adaptor plate which is 46MM

Got all the parts today went out tried to install the 1702C adapter plate lined up the holes on the Gasket and cut the hole.

Check the fit of the adapter plate before you do anything! Why, glad you asked :>)

When I drilled my holes I used the 46mm Plate (center hole) and not the 44MM adapter plate which has the offset petcock Hole Lucky for me I had slightly oversized the hole

As they say measure twice cut once got lucky on the offset hole as mine was tiny bit larger round

The 44MM fit perfect, will post a pdf soon as I can figure out how to write in the details on the photos taken

Interesting, thanks for the info, I will be sure to check my measurements before assuming all is well !
