1960 heat/air water control valve

I have a 60 T-Bird with air.
The heater core, water control valve that bolts to the core is leaking (the diaphram is shot).
It's an Everhot valve.
Does anyone know where I could find another one.
I've seen retro-fit pipe & valve kits that put the valve inline in the heater hose in the engine compartment.
This is a very original family owned car & I'd rather spend a little more & get an original one.
Many thanks if anyone can help.

Mark

Old Air Products in Fort Worth, Texas rebuilds them.

Harley,

Thanks for the reply. After checking around I did go to Old Air & the Everhot valves cannot be rebuilt. Only the Ranco can.
Even those are usually not rebuildable because of corrosion of the water pipe.
I did find a NOS Ranco valve from Joe Hudacek at [url=http://www.heatervalves.com]
I have installed in on the core & am going to take it to my radiator man to pressure check before I re-install it in the car.
Don't want to have to take it all back apart again.
Mark
