The seat of the heater control valve has some pitting and corrosion. I don't have a good seal because I can blow through the valve even when fully closed. Is there a way to refurbish the valve seat to prevent it from bypassing? On the other hand, the silvery colored tubular valve stem has two 1/4 inch slits cut into it at the seating surface which appear to allow a small amount of coolant to bypass through the valve even when closed. Why the engineers wanted to allow a small leak past the seat is a mystery to me. But the main issue is the valve seat.

Does anyone know what company manufactured the "rabbit ear" heater Valve? If not, can you list some of the suppliers 1930s-40s ? I am trying to find names to search for parts, as mopar #s cant be found at any of our vendors (yet). I've searched US Patent office with not luck (yet). Thank you
