I have removed the hot water heater tap from the block of my BT7. It had been jammed in the open position with no handle ever since I've had the car. Abuse by a PO, though I've gathered from others a

I've restored dozens of these brass taps for the block and the radiator on Sprites and various big Healeys over the years. Most quality hardware stores have a selection of springs, and I match the s
