[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 479801, member: 6969"] Okay an update for anyone looking. I bought a modern, current Drayton 2 port valve. With the old and new heads side by side the mounting looked identical. The only difference seeming to be the mechanism to hold the head onto the body, 2 very awkward screws on the old one, and a clip mechanism on the new ones. The old head appeared to fit on the new body, it just lacked a way to keep it there. So today I set off, hoping to just fit the new head. Oh ******. One difference I had not noticed, is the spindle on the old valve body is longer than the spindle on the new valve body, so the new head won't go far enough onto the old body. Back again in Monday with my plumbing tools to change the valve body over. [/QUOTE]
