It is a very unusual metric thread: M4.5 * 0.5mm. It used to be available from: http://www.sssmodels.com/locospartsaccess/locopartsaccess.html#BURNER%20PARTS Regards

Good luck on getting the Ronson fuel valves. I called SS about two or three months ago and they didn't have any. Maybe they have received some since I called.

the Ronson fuel valves are (or were) the same ones used in a Ronson cigarette lighter. You might check at a local smoke shop.

Actually there are two different sizes available. Indeed there are different threads. So make sure you get the valve before you drill the hole.

For the valves try Roundhouse. It is where I bought mine about 6 of them. And for the tap I used MSC www.mscdirect.com. Only a few dollars for the tap compared to E-Taps at almost 30.00 Both companys were fast with response and shipping.
