Last year my GT6 mkII  was rebuilt into a GT6+ reimported from the 
US. The best bits of both vehicles were amalgamated into one, with 
the remaining parts being kept as spares.
     
The emission control valve that came off the US car has a heavy metal 
plate on the top, approximately 1.5 x the thickness of the UK market 
cars, this plate has no markings on it whereas the UK ones have 
Smiths name on them. In addition, the valve body on the US version is 
triangular (inverted in use) whereas the UK one is flat bottomed.
     
I would be interested to know if any GT6+ owners have a similarly 
blank plate and if anyone knows the reason for the difference.
     
     
TIA
