01/1990-08/1992 80 Series Heater Valve OEM Work Around

[OGBeno]

As we all know, FJ80 and HDJ80/81 heater valves have been discontinued for many years now.

After some sleuthing, I found the following PN:

Remove the valve from the bracket and install on your LC bracket and voila…. You are good to go…. No more relying on crappy Chineseum for a rather critical part.

I also transferred over the rubber bushing. The old one was toast.

Old valve…. On its way out.

New valve attached to LC bracket:

Hope that helps folks.
