Source for new petrol shut-off tap?

Hello folks. Didn't know where to post this question so I decided on 'The Lounge'. I would like to obtain a new petrol shut-off tap, like the ones fitted to the NADA 3500S, which is fitted in line before the electric fuel pump, underneath the car, at the back. It has a knurled wheel, and a tiny grub screw. I've got hold of an old one, which is seized solid, so not really all that much use. I think it is made of brass. It is covered in verdigris.
Has anyone on here got a helpful hint to a supplier from whom I might source a new one?
 
Hi MrTask,
Please have a look on the P6 Rover Owners Club website - www.p6roc.com
Go to the Links section where you will find several suppliers who advertise in the club magazine P6 News.
I'm sure they will be able to supply any parts you need.

Kind regards

Thank you Deborah. Does anybody know of any possible suppliers other than those listed on the Owners Club list? I imagine this part is not exclusive to Rover, in all likelihood it could have been used on other vehicles as well.
 
Thanks ColneRov, but I would prefer to use an original part.
In the meanwhile a friend of mine showed me how to get the gadget apart, with judicious use of a bit of heat. I didn't realise how the threaded fitting is retained by a press-fitted piece. Now I've been shown how it all goes together, and I've cleaned up all the pieces. The only problem was that the cork seal inside was no longer good. I now need to find some petrol-resistant 'O'-rings to replace the old cork seal, and then I'll be able to use the tap again.
