I dropped the $99 on the new petcock that Scott S linked to. Cheaper than a new tank and paint.

It's only one outlet but this should work for you:

Alternatively, the 19mm 750 petcock will work too but it also just has one outlet:

When I replaced mine the new outlets pointed down instead of sideways. I ended up having to use two elbow connectors straight out of the petcock to make the turn to the carbs without kinking.

Thanks for the links. I saw the option for the 750 one while researching but the bung on my tank measures 20mm with 1.5 thread pitch.

I sent the seller of that first one a message asking for the thread size/pitch.
