Maule is out of stock. I have the valve trying to get a pic of said standoffs so I can piece together the other parts needed. Glad to hear the mod is worthwhile. My current one is leaking

Awesome man. I appreciate the help. I can’t quite figure out by the drawing I have what it’s supposed to look like.

I have the original L-R-OFF valve in my M5. Many years back it developed a leak at the valve which my local IA repaired by replacing an o-ring. Sorry I don’t recall the details but it might be worth looking into.
