OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
Nurse Julie:
If you are looking for an 'original' 400/4 pet cock, CMSNL do one. It's the correct middle part number and is an original part. It's not cheap though. This is why when restoring a bike with Original parts, it can costs a bloody fortune but, if you want it correct, that's what you have to do.

I'm okay with meandering / hijacking threads as there is usually a good point or nugget of information in the process.
There is a genuine Honda Petcock on e-bay with what looks like the right part number at £75 starting bid - it had no bids on previous listings. If it is NOS the rubber seals might be perished.
Can you get the O rings for the tap as that and the strainer/filter would do for me ?

Edit..... Just seen the one you mention on ebay, that's an original fuel tap, so not a bad price really.

Cheap one below knowing my luck it will not fit thought the CB400F2 is listed as suitable.

The USA/Canada F2 uses a different part number than the rest of the world models - it looks different in photos, too. Not sure if they're interchangeable, though. That Ebay link looks like my USA-spec petcock, compare that to Julie's pic above:
