Heater Valve (Tap)

Hi all,

I am looking for a heater valve (102.05.57.101/34) or just the rubber diaphragm inside for my 2600 Sprint.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Presuming you mean part number 102.05.57.010.00/34 for the heater valve, the easiest way to repair it is to get a heater valve for a MGA or MGB on eBay (about USD 20 plus shipping) and either transplant the diaphragm from the new one or use the cap and lever of the old valve on the new base. (Carello licensed the valve from Smith in the UK but the lever goes the other way, else the MGA/MGB valve would be a direct replacement).

Hi Anthony,

I bought a valve for Triumph Spitfire which is almost an exact fit. And cheap.

rgds,

Yes, Spitfire valves work too and are also cheap.
XKE valves fit as well but are usually more expensive ("Jaguar pricing").

Thanks very much. I will source a local supplier.
