michaeldavis39 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Ditto Ed I would buy one as I already have the Everco valve- just not fitted yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverfox4 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 +1 for Ed's approach - but a poor copy though. I used a brass 1/2" to 5/8" adaptor to install as I had difficulty heating the hose and encouraging it over the valve outlet Cheers, Alf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvtrian Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I crimped an appropriate sized ring connector to the end of the cable, slipped it over the actuator spindle, added a spacer sleeve of small bore tubing to keep the ring at the base of the spindle, all topped off with a stem washer to keep it all in place and aligned. No ned to manufacture other parts and pretty simple. Ian PS - this is a great upgrade from the old OE spec diaphragm vale, simpler and much more reliable, and a straight swap!

tim hunt Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Although the Everco valve outlet is 5/ 8" diameter I found that my silicone heater hose of 1/2" I.D. slipped over the outlet with minimal force required just with the assistance of a trace of rubber grease.

Phil H 4 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Fitted mine today, used as suggetsed a 60A chock block to connect. Heat adjustment is far better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 And here’s mine bored, i thought i would ‘engineer’ a connector from 8mm hexagonal brass rod, turned out well ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Good job Steve! Seeing that put me in mind of my old Meccano 3-hole brass couplings All these well-engineered connections has prompted me to make mine look a little more elegant ........

I got it from Rock Autos after a couple of weeks. Roger Amazon UK currently lists it for delivery to my address from America at £35.36 with free delivery (Prime?) but it’s not clear as to what taxes will apply. The lack of clarity is off putting but I might just buy it and see. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jpmf Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Bought mine off Rock Auto a month ago, paid €11 for basic shipping (not the 'robbing ba******s at FedEx' option), and it arrived without hassle here in Ireland in 10 days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It lasted 18 months as usual I went down to Moss and complained. To my surprise they said that they also do the genuine OEM one at £30, so I bought that. Than was 10 years ago! no problems since.

Also when anybody questions their valve on this and other forums the reply is always to buy the EverCo version. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roger I take your point Roger but they need to be told to bin their repro one or improve its sealing. Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hi Bruce, I told them in 2014 that if I was in charge (and I am not) that I would bin all the **** and only sell quality (mainly regarding bearings) I was told in no uncertain terms that that was not possible as others would still sell the **** and that Moss would go out of Business. As long as the suppliers run a quality line alongside their other stuff then what more can we do. Buyer Beware. Read the forum Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PodOne Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 As long as some suppliers are happy offer both and people keep buying the **** they will be subsidising the few who want quality parts. If these suppliers disappear I suspect any quality parts are likely to be even more expensive, harder to find and possibly none existent. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
