I'm looking for an original heater valve that still has the "gold cad" color plating. So far, I've found ones that have very little or no plating left. If I found one that needed replating, can it be replated without ruining the seals, etc. inside it? I assume it can't be dismantle it for plating and have it look original after I put it back together. ( I think the parts are crimped together, which I couldn't duplicate)
Thanks for the info....I'll just wait until I come across one with enough of the original finish to look decent.
Not much that is serviceable with the valve except a "O" ring that seals the valve to the bracket.
Dragging this up since I could not find the answer. Any idea where I can source the "O" ring for this? Mine is fresh back from plating and I want to put it together. The dimensions are ID ~11/16" and OD ~13/16" based on measuring the groove in the brass. According to the 1969 Ford fastener list that would be part number 87018-S91It is not listed in the fastener spreadsheet, probably because it is part of an assembly and not serviced or shown on any drawings.Thanks, John

Bob, you mentioned the brass portion being polished is this appearance that is expected ?
