Sometimes you get lucky, the eBay item was an exact replacement! Original (Graham Bates?) set-up must have used a London taxi heater control valve....
Not a favourite occupation crawling behind a Stratos dashboard, but done now, valve had rusted through. Guess it must have stood in in water without corrosion inhibitor for years.
Twenty years of building before I got it....

My old one looked the same. The replacement is suspect though!!

MY replacement is suspect :-)
Mine's OK so far, here's hoping...
Don't try and solder or braze any bits on to them. The insides melt.
