I think there's a s Ebay seller in Germany that does twin outlet ones
beardylondon:
That would make sense, but I guess I can just use the one Dom recommended above and add a T piece to feed both carbs?

My Dad is going to try and lap the taper in the alley part of the tap, he thinks that might fix it.
The twin outlet is for the two carb feeds I don't think it has anything to do with the reserve position.

My original 400 tap was in poor condition - it refurbished okay using a DS strainer/tap repair kit although for one O ring I used the original as they suggested fitting two thin rings in place of one.
I did buy a tap from e-bay that was the wrong thread & was returned, to date the repaired original has not leaked (2 years).
If you are not in a rush, sometimes private NOS parts do pop up if you know the part numer you have it helps when searching.
With the new e bay listing rules more parts might surface.
