NOTE: We sometimes end auctions early and sell to the high bidder, so BID EARLY. BEFORE buying, read the section at the bottom titled: "NOS Locators' Commitment"
Brand New, high quality reproduction of the Smiths FHW1273/30 heater water control valve (stamped on top of heater valve), fitted to TVR models, and Lotus Elan models thru 1970.
These valves contain improved internal components to ensure a better seal even under extreme (boil-over) conditions. They also come with the OE style "silver" colored finish.
IMPORTANT NOTE: With this valve, the cable
pushes to open and pulls to close and is NOT suitable for Elan +2, +2S, Europa or Twin Cam models which use the FHW1279/14 valve which has a raised cable attachment bracket and works in reverse (pull/open, push/closed). See our other listing for this application.
Also, some regular models may have the raised type FHW1279/14 installed (because of factory model changes, improperly titled cars, engine swaps, etc.) so be sure the valve you need is the one pictured.
S/H and Payment
Buyer to pay a Shipping and Handling fee as stated under the "Shipping and payment" tab above.
International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, broker charges and the like are NOT included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your customs broker or your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
Also, we will not undervalue your parcel, so please do not ask us to do so as these requests will be ignored.
Be aware that First Class Mail cannot be tracked.
If you want to have your parcel trackable, you need to opt for a higher (and significantly more expensive) shipping service such as UPS for US destinations, or Express Mail for non-US destinations.
Although the Post Office may give estimated delivery times, in some cases it may take many additional weeks for transport. We will get your package out
quickly, but once it enters the postal system, it is totally out of our control.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex and PayPal eCheck (Held until cleared before shipping merchandise.)
RI residents or pick-ups must add 7% RI Sales Tax.
To ensure the fastest processing, pay us securely through PayPal immediately after you receive eBay's purchase confirmation.
IMPORTANT: We will ONLY ship to the PayPal specified address on your PayPal payment. If you want your item sent to a different address, this address must be added to your PayPal account (as a secondary address) before making payment; then select this address when payment is made.
Combined S/H Discounts
We are happy to save you money by combining your purchases of different products into a single transaction; but be aware, the savings primarily come from reduced processing and paperwork, not so much the actual postage savings. Ebay does not do this automatically, so to benefit from these savings, you must strictly adhere to the following:
All purchases are within a 5 day period, and
Paid from a single invoice sent by us to you, and
Paid in full with a single PayPal payment.
No exceptions.
Therefore, if you are making multiple purchases, do not checkout and do not pay for anything until you are finished buying. Then request a "combined invoice with discounted S/H" for all of your purchased items.
Email may take several business days to be answered -- Please be patient and plan accordingly. For an immediate response, phone us at 1-401-725-5000 Mon-Fri.
NOS Locators' Commitment
NOS Locators
has been serving the Classic Car community for over 35 years. We are
respected and trusted throughout the world. We are located in a
commercial building, fully staffed M-F, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
Some staff members may stay later or come in at other
times, so if you need to call us, please try, but after 6:00 PM and on
weekends, it is a "catch as catch can" situation.
Our goal is to earn a 5-star rating in each category for each transaction, and everybody here works very hard toward
deserving this. If you are satisfied with your products and this transaction,
we would really appreciate all 5-star ratings if you can honestly justify this.
This will allow us to continue to serve you and the rest of the eBay community in
the future and keep our prices low. And if we should screw up, please give us
the "benefit of the doubt" and a chance to fix it or make it up to
you either directly or in some other way. There are penalties for not
maintaining high ratings which eBay restricts us from publicly disclosing;
however, it should be obvious that increased selling costs ultimately result in
increased buyer's costs.
As you can see from the comments from our more than 25,000 eBay
transactions, we are an honest and honorable professional organization.
If there is anything you object to regarding our policies, prices, products, S/H rates or time frames, please phone or email us. If you are not 100% agreeable with our policies and prices, please DO NOT BUY FROM US. But if you do buy from us, we expect you to likewise be honorable and judge us on how well we fulfill our stated policies.
The
two biggest complaints you will find in other sellers' feedback (other
than outright fraud), are inflated S/H Rates and Lengthy Shipping Times.
Our S/H rates are carefully calculated to be fair and reasonable. If you object to our S/H charges on any product, DO NOT BUY FROM US; but if you do buy from us, and we do not charge you more than we stated, then we deserve 5 stars in the "Shipping and handling charges" DSR. This is especially true if you buy multiple products but do NOT request a "combined invoice with discounted S/H" since each item is priced for individual shipment.
If you object to our Shipping Times
and think getting your order out within a couple of days (or maybe
another day or so for foreign orders with customs declarations), is too
long, DO NOT BUY FROM US; but if you do buy from us, and we get your order out within this time frame, then we deserve 5 stars in the "Shipping Time" DSR, regardless of how long the carrier takes to deliver the parcel to you. It's "Shipping Time", NOT"Delivery Time". Be aware that you can always phone us at 401-725-5000 and speak to a "real" person if you need something shipped out quicker.
Lastly, but most importantly, by monitoring our feedback continually, we can determine if a buyer leaves us unjustified low grades. If this is the case, we will block that buyer from future purchases. There are people in cyberspace who have unrealistic expectations or are not very honorable. If you are one of them and do us an injustice, you won't get a second chance.
Regarding Buyer Feedback, we've arranged with a private company to automatically generate buyer feedback and spend this saved time on the "operations" end of an eBay transaction. The buyer's feedback is automatically left as soon as the buyer leaves positive feedback for us.
If after giving us feedback, you do not receive your feedback after seven days, please contact us. Internet glitches sometimes cause this third party service not to work 100% of the time.
Be sure to include the listing number on ALL correspondence and checks.
