I recently purchased a PowerFlo 4000 series Pingal fuel valve and a blank adaptor plate. The dealer didn't know which plate to order, therefor the blank adaptor plate. I drew up the plate and used my existing valve to get dimensions for the bolt hole layout. here is the drawing.

After I had it drawn, I checked the Pingal site and compared the drawing to what was available. Pingal's A1702C-O Adapter Plate 3/8 1.732/44mm Offset is the one that would have worked for me. In their catalog entry the describe it as:3/8"" NPT with 44mm (approximately 1-3/4") bolt pattern
Designed for GSXR1100 with 1/4" offset. This gives no clue that this adaptor fits the older Gs1000 and other tanks. Note: my drawing shows 1.73 inch between holes but still worked. I hope someone will find this info useful in one of their projects.
 
Thanks for the info, Remington.
Just curious as to why you went with the Pingel instead of stock.
I have used 2 Pingel petcocks on bikes and had a problem with one of them when one of the o-rings got pinched and a shard of rubber blocked flow.
btw, any chance of a larger pic of your Special Edition. Never seen one with an S fairing.
 
I added the Wes Cooley fairing in the early 80s. I didn't even know there was an S model back then.

The Pingal universal adaptor plate comes with a gasket. On the Pingal plate for the gsxr1100 , it has copper crush washer and a gasket to put under the socket head cap screws. My universal plate didn't come with fasteners. I am using some pan head socket screws with a copper washer and gasket. The Pingal adaptors are counterbored for the fasteners, I don,t have the proper equipment to do that.
I hope this helps
