Handles for Old Blakes Sea Cocks required

[Caer Urfa]

Trying to find 'handles' for my two 3/4" & 1 1/2" Blakes sea cocks (for the heads toilet)
Any ideas where to find them, usual sites and chandlers no use at present, However they are the old type and at least 20 years old but still work and I do not want to replace them just to get a handle!
Thanks

Blakes will have them
Look Here for details

I couldn't get one for old Snappy (wooden handle with bronze square section on the end). I found an old bed spanner that fitted perfectly - where the heck you get a bed spanner from these days I do not know. (Am I showing my age /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

What happened to the originals? Have you been sailing with no handles on your seacocks? Suggest you have a pair of Mole grips in a glass case in your heads in case of emergency!

Hang on there might be a pair in my garage. I've replaced all the Blakes seacocks on my boat as the cones were worn and corroded. They would be about 20 years old. I'll go and rummage around.

Thanks gents and I hope someone has some old ones!
None of the 16 chandlers have any I have contacted including Blakes.
by the way I have been using an adjustable spanner up to now!

Don't know how you lost them. I needed a lump hammer to seperate the handle from the cones.
Are these the ones?

Hi DJE
As I have never had any when I bought the boat (stupidly thought they would be in a cuboard somewhere) I had never seen the handles so I don't know what they look like!
But they sure look like they will fit as the sizes look about right and I see no locking pin hole like the new ones and mine do not have any hole for the pin lock in the valve square nut tops.
Can I beg or buy them if they are spare?

Regards
Mike

PM me an address and they're yours.
Shall we say £5 in your local RNLI box to cover it?
