E27N fuel taps

I am looking for information on reproduction fuel taps of the needle valve type. Is there more than one manufacturer? Do they vary in quality?
I have seen prices of £70 upwards, so would not like to buy something that does no work.

I know nothing about the products from the suppliers you show. I was hesitant to replace my sediment bowl as the replacement I bought was slightly different. It also had a plastic bowl instead of glass but my glass one fit. Now I have a nice new fuel tap that is not quite "correct" and leaks just as bad as the original. It leaks around the shut off shaft and yes I know about the packing and tightening the nut. I bought mine through an all makes tractor supply store in western Canada.
