Didn't Work

I bough the eBay fuel selector valve and it shipped and arrived quickly. The problem is the valve is badly corroded and it will not move.

That’s a bummer. Maybe the valve can be soaked in oil to free it up
I bought the other BAD looking valve off ebay. Plan to do an autopsy on it to see what parts are in it, maybe create a parts list and sources. Of course already been established that the gasket will have to be self made.
Maybe check with Don Neiser at Commodore Aerospace? He just got me a couple hard to find items.

I was gonna suggest you let let it soak in Evapo-rust, which has done miracles for me in the past, but that last pic really looks bad, as if the housing is breaking down internally. Hopefully the autopsy will prove valuable to our tribal knowledge!
