The type that has a rubber fitting and a bolt/nut afair. Insert it into the hole and tighten the nut. It works similar to an old type of vaccume bottle plug. This works under a lot of pressure and easy to fit. Or if you can get a pipe tap to fit it, you may thread it and put in a pipe plug..

We will spend Saturday doing a little fun driving on some very nice back roads on our inaugural "One Lap around Lake Wateree" and end up at a lakeside park for a cookout and Sunbeam talk. Following that we will head over to a nearby workshop where Jim Ellis will delve deep into his V-6 Alpine project and answer any engine conversion questions you may have as well as any other Sunbeam repair issues that you have been wondering about. A local BBQ place will be the location for dinner and socializing. And then from 8 until 10 PM there will be a hospitality suite set up at The Hampton Inn which is the show's host hotel. The next morning we will all meet up at the Carolina British Classics Show and put on a display of Sunbeam automobiles that will hopefully dominate the field of all British cars! So come join us-the weather will be cool and the driving fun as we all get together again to enjoy our Sunbeams. There will be no charge to attend the SOS-just bring something to share at the cookout. There is a registration charge for the Carolina British Classic Show. Here is the link to the registration form for the show on Sept. 23rd http://www.capitalfinancialpartners.com/files/14821/BCCMC%20registration%20form.pdf Info about the club, the event, and host hotel is at http://www.britishcarclubmidlandscentre.com/ Quite a few folks have already registered and everything is lined up for a great event-hope y'all can join us. If there is anything else you need just ask! Hotels that are nearer to the SOS are available as well. The SOS site is about 30 miles from the show site. Please email me at sunbeams at sc.rr.com for the SOS schedule and other info and to let me know how many will be attending the SOS. Updates and the latest info will be at http://teae.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=997 See you there!

I think he told me an MGC valve (Moss Motors) would work, with a little modification. Is this true? If so, define a little modification.

All or some rubber parts fell in pieces, if I remember correct. I cleaned metal pieces with soda and vinegar + brass brush, then made scissor-work to create new seals. I might have used a common O-ring from a cheap "selection-of-O-rings-box". Anyway, I was first sure that valve is imposseble to repair, and then it worked fine. You MUST UNDERSTAND that you can not rebuild a control valve, if original is missing. In case someone tries to rebuild a missing, lost or vanished valve, he can not ask me to pay his costs which are due to rebuilding a valve that has been totally missing during this operation. At late 60`s government paid under heat to Control huge sums about some missing valves, but unfortunately mr. Maxwell Smart found those. That car was pretty pretty, tough.
