Heater valves ( early tap type or later cable-operated) are available from East Sussex Minors.

Tap type: 88G588 (Moss) HTR105A (ESM)
Cable operated: JJC10018 (Moss) HTR105 (ESM)

I don't know what it is that you have bought. A photograph would be very helpful.

Always check the photos. Just a quick check of the basic part number FHW1311.....
Does it look like this?

I think Smiths were the original manufacturers of the late type heater valves. They made LOTS of similar but different valves for other car makers rather like that Geoberni has found. Maybe that is what you've bought? Send it back to the seller if it isn't what he advertised. Nobody here can help you much without a photo :wink:
