'57 heater control valve

[Bernie Schneider]

Does anyone have a good source of someone who rebuilds the original '57 heater control valves?
Thanks much,

Bernie,
I don't have a source, however I recall they screw apart and are pretty darn simple to put a washer/seal in. Recall I elected to rechrome plate the brass sliding plug as the plating was badly worn. If you've ever changed a bathroom faucet washer, this task is about as simple. Regards,

Bernie,
I don't know about rebuilding but Corvette Central sells a replacement for about $50. Part # 451004. I replaced mine and it works fine.

CC carries a seal kit for the original valve (P/N 451106). I put one in my valve and installation was simple, and by golly, it doesn't leak!
