The 73 z1 fuel valve uses a rubber sleeve between the fuel valve body and the fuel valve lever, the design changed in 74.
I bought some in 2003 and possibly later, now everyone's memory has failed.
Who made these in 2003 ?

(not factory parts)

Amazon do repop taps. A few different ones on there. Maybe you could scavenge one from one of them if you want to maintain originality and not use repop tap.

Bezos has to much money, these rich sob's own the world, in the good ole days a man could enter a cycle shop, ask for a rubber and get one, that's what I want, thank you.

Its £7.40 ffs. Hardly the national debt.

I have a few of those cheap taps that I stopped selling because they leak. I think the internals are different but I will take one apart and see if it helps.

Internals are different. I bought one by mistake

Chucked it in the bin in disgust.

73Z1,
American Classix.com used to sell an excellent replacement sleeve that I was fortunate enough to purchase and it has lasted for a few years but it is treated to a smear of red rubber grease every year after being stripped each winter.
