Clean up those funky heater valves
As you can see, a bit of 1 1/8" stainless steel self adhering tape will give those corroded heater valves new life. ( A bit of touch up paint won't hurt either )

Did that before Max gave me the tape.
Did you put some clear coat on ?
I polished mine and they didn't stay polished long, the SS tape stays shiny.

Do these covers come off or do you have to polish them in place?

Polish in place unless you want a bath in radiator fluid.

Re: Clean up those funky heater valves
Thats what I thought would happen, so I have been polishing in place with crocis cloth and Never- Dull.

Re: Clean up those funky heater valves
As I recall, the model MB in that writeup had those valves in a lower-than-engine position. Ours are high enough that they won't leak?
