For what its worth here is a sketch of a Kingston 4 ball float made using Restoration Supply nitrophyl.
It is easy to machine and if you get reasonably close to the sketch it will fit. The float needle must seat on a sharp edge or it will not seal and will leak. I found that a 2 flute center cut end mill will produce a sharp edge use fairly high speed. 4 ball Kingston float

Dick,

I was making some drawings for a tool today at work, and could only find one old pencil. Every time I used the eraser it made a mess. That made me think of your prints, and the need to learn how to use a cad program. Thanks for the info.

Jim

I get a kick using a 50 year old doss program on the latest Appple.
