Contrary to Michael Marr's posting (no offense, Mike), the Spitfire/GT6 heater
valve is
not serviceable. It's different from that of a TR3, and the only way to repair
it is to
... purchase it.
Yeah -- been there and done that ... w/my GT6.
Now -- if you really want to do it on the cheap, it is possible to use a
plumbing valve
of the same thread size, and just leave it turned on until April.
