Before I go into a plumbers merchant(s) and ask, with the possibility of
been laughed out of the shop! Is it possible to buy replacement radiator
wheelheads and lockshield covers for radiator valves, (not TRV). I have
looked at Screwfix, BES and Toolstation but they don't appear to stock them.
I have only ever seen two different shapes to the spindle tops, either
square or an oblong shape with rounded ends, mine are the oblong shape, so
will any cover with this shape fit? I obviously cannot take my valves with
me to the shop to try them! I realise I could buy the valves and use the
covers but as I need 10 of each, I would be left with 10 new valves with no
heads or covers.

Think it's highly unlikely TBH. In my "useful box" I have quite a few
old covers, which I've tried to fit on various radiators where these
were lacking, without success. In other words, I think they are
brand/model specific.
