Came across this website http://www.skywagoncity.com while looking for parts for the 170. It is mostly for the Skywagon community, but I did notice the have a "Parts" section that does contain items for sale for other aircraft as well. Maybe other members would find something useful.

Yep, spoke to Jason. He was the rep that sold me the valve. Talked to him today and told me to send it back. He said it will be a full refund, including S/H both ways. Thanks again for all of the helpful info.

Searched around and found what was suppose to be a salvaged fuel selector valve from Wentworth. After checking the valve, it looked identical to my valve except the bonnet style. Took it apart and found the detent spring completely different and the tapered cone to be made of plastic, along with it ...

Thanks Ernie. I believe the valve was rebuilt in the late 90's by others, so it may not have gone back together correctly. After looking at it closer, it does make sense what you said about the position of #4 part. The pin looked good, no flat spots. Bruce, when I get back out to the hangar, I'll ch...

Thanks 48rw. This is the exact valve that I have. Yep, Bruce, #3 is the part that broke. Although, part #4, the "cup" came out the opposite way that the picture shows. On my valve,the spring fits into the cup of #4, and the base, or bottom of the cup rides on the detent washer, if that mak...

Resurrecting a post.
Just pulled the fuel valve and found cone and body OK, but the "Detent washer" that IdahoPilot spoke about broke on us also. 1948, serial # 18118. Any source for this part? Will also replace the "O" ring as part of the rebuild.

Thanks Arash.

Below is a posting from 2012 that was posted by George referring to a 48 fuel selector. He refers to an article he wrote about the replacement of the valve in the "170 News". Are these available on the forums for members? I have to rebuild/replace my leaking fuel valve on the 48 170, seria...

Here is the link to the association CFI's as posted under "Pilot Lounge".

I know of someone who sent in their clock for an OH. It was original with the glow in the dark hands (radium paint). They would not repair it OR send it back, so he had to purchase a new clock. Check with the company that will do the OH first to see if they would even touch it or send it back, if yo...

Here is something if you already have the paint, but need an application method.
