Fuel bowl drain

Question is, center (white) section of drain with flat sides, is this 2 piece?? Mine came out as 2 pieces, but when snapped together, solid and effort to separate. No fuel leak now, but just idle so far.

IIRC there was a white pin that holds the thing together.

Fuel pressure is highest at idle, so it's passed the test imo.

What kind of o rings did you use?

The 'white' section in the middle of the drain valve may really be a 'three piece' part, with the top and bottom flat/curved sections attached to a middle section.
For people wondering, here is the overhaul instruction sheet for a better visual.
