Anyone know the make of Inflation valve used on a Lodestar dinghy.
I'm away from the boat for the next 2 weeks and forgot to check for markings on the valve.
No luck with google, but looking at various sites, it appears similar to a Halkey Roberts valve
 
As I found out, some valves look alike but have different threads or angle of faces so, unless you want to cut and patch the tube to replace the backing nut, you need the correct one. Some makes even have different valves depending on year of manufacture.
 
Thanks for the replies, after the recent thread about vendors not responding to email queries, was pleasently surprised to get an answer from an ebay vendor.
It is a Halkey Roberts valve. I was not after the actual valve, but the valve spanner, now ordered
Cheers
