'? Hi David,   For what it is worth, I had a 46 F-24 and the fuel stringer valve leaked like you mentioned.  Not a drip, drip, but a constant moist seeping type thing.   I dismembered it and used some valve grinding compound (fine) that I had and cured it in about 20 minutes.  Maybe you have a bigge...

'Yeah, I had something similar on mine with the spring loaded clips on the struts and the arrow shaped for inserting into the clips on the doors. They didn't hold worth a darn so I took them off.
