Hi Mark,
If you have a NOS valve, then you could use two hose clamps to attach the
valve to the Ware strut. Get a piece of 3/4" steel bar stock, about 3/32"
thick and bend it into a U shape. Radius one side of the U to fit the Ware
strut, and the other to fit the valve body. Put one hose clamp around each
leg of the U, one around the Ware strut and the other around the valve body,
and you're done. If you get the right size clamps and put the screw
adjusters underneath it might not look too bad.
I'm using a Honda valve ('81 civic) and it has a flange where a plastic
cover screws on. I made a little plate that fit the two mounting screws on
one end, and the Ware strut on the other, and then welded that onto the Ware
strut. I'll take a picture tonight if you're interested.
Regards,
Theo

Subject: Water valve Bracket
Crew:
Help, I'm looking for a water valve bracket for a 66 M1a. I have a
new valve but don't want to hook it up to the black 1.5" structure bar
with a hose clamp. Does anyone have a bracket they'll sell me or an
item which can be crafted to work. Thanks in advance for any and all
help. Mark
