Dear David,
I read again that Tower catalog and YES there is a needle valve for 3.49
However, what I am now thinking is that this part is just the needle. We
need the needle and the "body" where it is screwed. On page 234 of this
catalog, there is a complete list of the T.H. .40 engine parts.
I bet that what we need is the Needle Valve T40 ABC (TOWG4880)-3.49$-
AND the Spraybar Assembly Angled T40 ABC (TOWG5220)-6.99$-
I am sorry for that "weak" info..
but it's a good price for a needle valve!
I have recently found a bag with several pipes, bags, valves and drop
counters from a blood and IV solution system. (The ones that hangs up
near the patient in the hospitals) Everything from Baxter lab.
I'll let you know what can be useful from there. It seems to be
interesting.
