Would the spree fuel valve work on an Aero 50? What other model's fuel valve are interchangeable with the aero 50's? thanks

Greetings:
It's more complicated than that, and simpler. Tank fittings for the '85 Aero were different from the '86-'87. Sorry I no longer recall the exact dimensions, but I saw this firsthand. Secondhand I've read that the Sprees and Aeros (Slings and Arrows?) all had the same dimensions in 1985. Presumably this means that an '86 Spree petcock might fit an '86 Aero tank, but one from an '85 Spree would not. If anyone has an example of these specific model/years, perhaps they'd be so kind as to measure at the next opportunity.

What are the critical dimensions for the valve to fit? ie: thread size and pitch, etc.

84-85 Sprees use a smaller nutted petcock 14mm i think
86-87 Use the larger nutted petcock 16mm i think
hehe is said nutted
