Most any race car supplier can provide those. VMS, Randy, Dennis, Little Race Cars, USLC, eBay... Those are minor parts that do not require a USLC stamp.

Unless these have some special seal material in them, couldnt you just go get a stainless ball valve from the hardware store and use that?
A 1/2" stainless ballvalve from a hardware or plumbing store would only run less than $20. I believe they all have teflon seal material in them as well.

  i guess you could  but i couldnt find  one  that has a provision to bolt it to the package tray...as it states in the rule book but the one from summit does...
