as temporary measure would a blanking plate be OK?
Why bother messing around when new ones are available? Just get a new heater valve sent overnight by a Minor specialist. Remember to order the 50p paper gasket as well.
If ever you do need to blank off one of the heater hoses short term or long term use the old favorite a spark plug with a jubilee clip it works a treat

To be really honest, it's just as easy to replace the heater valve with a later style one. I replaced the one on Hebe and it's fine now. Just remember to keep it moving - then it won't stick in one place. Oh, and remember to flush the system too. It took me a good half a day to completely flush the system, and fit the new hoses and valve... but well worth it

Now my original question has been answered as to what kicker plates are (sill covers) I am further confused as mine have only ever been held on with small self tapping screws and not bolts.

They are screwed in at the top, but the bottom edge is sandwiched between the sill finisher strip and the sill and held there with bolts. (1/2" if I remember)....... maybe that is what SB is on about.........?
