Sea cock handle!

[Caer Urfa]

I have two oldish Blakes sea cocks 1 1/2" & 3/4" to the toilet, but both operating levers or handles are missing since I bought the boat.
Where can I get replacements without having to buy the whole valves as they otherwise work ok?
I have looked at a couple of sites but they all want to sell the whole Valve!
Also to close them do you just turn the arrow a quarter to horizontal, and vertical for open?
Thanks for you help!

Might be worth trying them direct - they show some spares on their web page but they also have an email address on the home page.

If all else fails, it is relatively easy to get some made up by a normal metal fabricator - got to be cheaper than buying new valves.

I use a dedicated socket that fits the square nice and snug with extension so not struggling in a confined space, also easy to judge the amout of turn required when opening or closing.
