I installed one of these in my series V Alpine. Doug Jennings from
Tiger Automotive in Dayton gave me the idea. Go to a junkyard and
look in just about any late model Honda and you'll find the valve. It
is brass, and looks very similar to the Sunbeam valve. There is an
extra bracket where the heater control cable attaches that looks
different than the original. The diameter of the valve is also a
little smaller than the original part. I used some rubber strips
around the valve so that it would fit into the Alpine bracket. I
didn't have to make any modifications at all to the hardware in the
car. The valve worked great, and according to Doug "Being from a
Honda, you no it'll never wear out"
