Here is the picture of the new units. They were built from the original drawings so dimensionally they are the same. The difference is that the new units are all stainless steel, not mild steel with cadmium plating that is subject to corrosion.

PA30 fuel selectors

Reading this thread, I saw the thought about price.
Parker Hannifin originally set the price at $6500 each! They apparently get more than that for a similar part that they sell on some Cessna model. I managed to convince them that Comanches would benefit from this part, and they made a superb stainless steel unit that is taken from the original drawings and is true to the type certificate design, and is PMAd. Parker wisely chose to lower the price to $3200, and while they sell direct they have set up an account for me and asked me to coordinate the sales. I am happy to do this, so what I ask is that people contact me and then send a check and I'll arrange the payment to Parker Hannifin. The units are built and shipped in Florida, but the business office is in Irvine for Parker Hannifin, and trying to place orders is hard - the business office doesn't know what a fuel selector is.
My opinion is that the price is extraordinary value. Webco presently services selectors for $400 apiece, and they do a great job, but these are new stainless units and that has a value.
Email me or call (949) 362.1600 if I can help.
