65 coronet heater control valve

I hooked up my heater core to the kitchen sink today before I install it and found the valve leaks. Has anyone had these rebuilt or can they? Checked ebay and Google and came up with nothing.
Thanks

Hi Al,i think yours is the same as mine,if so there is a guy in California that rebulds them,be sure not to bend it in any way ,because he wont be able to rebuild it and they seem very hard to come buy,There is a thread here about it somewhere ,i will try and locate it and you can check also if you like .Hope this helps you.Hi Al i found it

Thanks Paul..I came across that thread late last night and PMd the guy who had the heater cores for sale he said he also had the valves as well. Depending on price and condition I might go that route...mine is VERY brown and green..lol
Thanks again Paul
