    You were pretty close but its Latus Motors:) Let me know if I can help in anyway. They are only 6 miles from me and the parts people know me by my first name, well so does everyone in there including the owner.
    You should see the parts girl Kristie what a cut kid, she is also a grad from the Harley mech school in AZ, she knows whats she is talking about. She also married one of the mechanics at Latus HD. The older guys that also work there are always going to her for answers. I shot black powder with her grandpa for 20 years to. Sweet kid, :)

    I might have an old HD petcock, but it's been in the attic in a box for 10 years
    so as far as condition who knows from the Fl heat and no fluid.

    Call my friend Phil at www.harleypartscheap.com see if he can get you
    a price on a petcock, pingle or otherwise

    He's always done me very good on prices and he's a good guy and
    a member here too..
