Where does one obtain the nitrile floats? Thank you.

That’s an excellent article by our Historian, Steve Grimsley (who over the years has contributed many many detailed articles outlining excellent maintenance tasks.)

In a nut-shell, use a vise or hammer to reduce the flattened/peened end of the lever/rod so the washer and old float can be removed. Install the new float, re-install the washer, and peen or flatten the end of the rod again with a vise or hammer.... or drill the end and install a small bit of safety-wire or a small cotter-pin.

The newer, Nitrile floats are much better at longevity than the original varnished-cork floats.
