The heater taps for any of the old heaters were a piece of pipe screwed into side of head and a part that screwed into the top of the pipe and had a like a butterfly in side it, looked messy. I got a heater tap at a spare parts shop that belongs to holdens HX to Comodores it is small and made from plastic and brass, can be fitted anywhere and looks good. even under dash. Costs about $25.

The handle should be bigger one side than the other and have a small printed stamp on one side. The genuine Nasco mirror for the guard has NASCO printed on the back in the diamond shape but no part number. The door mirror does not unscrew from the stalk without breaking the glass.
The mirror with the part number is a later one but i'm not sure what model it's off.
