If you could obtain a valve that was longer than the drawing you could cut and shut the valve with a bit of care. Regards, Neil.

Hi Neil.
If anything, I'm probably going to have to lengthen one, as there's hardly any length of rod sticking through. I think I'm right in saying that Moonraker never had a governor until recently, and was only fitted for its aesthetic appearance. I've been told that all 1" 1/4 Pickering valves are the same? As for cutting it down to the lengths on the drawing, those measurements are wrong as well. The drawing I have is for a slide valve tractor. This is why I'm after the correct one!
