I don't know without googling, they're just a normal angled valve with a fancy gland nut, won't a normal one do?  |

It's a job I've got to do in London only got a limited time slot and direct replacement would mean no issues where as replacement means any amount of problems and addional tooling. Plus you've got hassle on the tube finding suppliers as driving is a fu*king nightmare! so I anyone knows it would be really handy.  |

What's the problem with them ? The inserts leak once the heating cools down then reseal when back up to temperature so require the combie topped up every other day. |

Undo the head gear and remove the clip and it will pull out and there will be an o-ring on the spindle.

I'd buy a cheap pair from shitfix, i know it might mean a bit of shuffling but it can't be a lot of differance, better than trying to match, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack,  |

I always carry a selection box of o-rings, washers (fibre and rubber).

the pipe is chrome so the olives will just slide off, olives don't bite into chrome,  |
