You're right opinions do vary on this item, but all my research comes back to this one, unfortunately I don't have the part number. Not the best of photos for enlarging, but it shows the valve with the flat plate at the forward end of the valve, which is angled back at 90 degrees over the main valve body to form a mounting for the outer cable. To the best of my knowledge, this one superseded the one with the small lever that had to be operated under the bonnet.

This is the same as the original on my July 64 1071

Thanks for that chaps !
Don't suppose anyone knows where I'll be able to source one ? NOS prefered, and I could do a possible deal for a correct NOS Smith's FHW 1906 'Daisy Wheel' valve which I Have.
