This wonderful part has resurfaced in the Metroliner and Club Car. How
difficult would it be to produce this part in a parts or bulk pack,
preferable bulk. This is the second best special part Lego has produced,
besides the garage door of course.

Real faucets are a great addition to any town.

like these: http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=69c01

I think you will find they are called taps.

I think you will find that the part Rose refers to is a "faucet" when most
people talk about it, even if partsref calls it a tap.... it's on a 1x2
modified plate/tile and has a spout that sticks out as well as a suggestion
of a ball handle. You cannot mount anything on it (at least not that I am • aware)

I guess it depends on how strict your definition of 'mount' is.  :)

Take a look at this classic space set:

If you look carefully at the backside of the launch tower you'll see two of
the faucets used to good effect, along with a short length of thin rubber • hose.

They are similarly used on the base of the tower, where you see the fuel
truck connecting to them.  Ah, the memories.

Used in a similar fashion in the 8860 car chassis,
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8860, where the "taps" are actually used as spark
plugs!
