I can't remember just when, but in a past post to LML (could be as much
as 6 months ago - I've been away) I listed a source of some very nice
replacement valves for those junky ones suplied in the kit that have a
tendency to be bad from the start. These were very cmall stainless high
pressure units that can be had with your choice of color on the handles. 

I got them from a company in Long Beach, California but at this time, I
can't find the address (I've moved since then and can't find anything!)
but if you can locate my earlier post, the info is there. If I remember,
they were about $35 (I say "they" because I bought one for the fuel
shut-off as well) and worth every cent!

I will try to find the address but can't promise anything, but the info
should be in the LML somewhere.

[Good memory, Dan... here's the reprint of your post dated 11/11/98 with
the source for your valves:

>>>
 The brand name is "NUPRO" and they are a "Swagelok" company. They 
apparently have distributors all over the place so, where ever you 
are located, you should be able to find them. You can find the local 
dist. by going to the Swagelok page on the net at: 

  http://www.swagelok.com/index.htm 

and then it's an easy point and shoot to find what you need. Here in 
the South Bay section of the LA area, the distributor is Long Beach 
Valve & Fitting Co., at (562)494-6694. 

  Ask for the catalog sheets for their P4T & P6T Series plug valves. 
They come in Stainless Steel or Brass, have a range of sizes and end 
fittings and offer several different colors for the handles. 

  For reference, my hydro system is plumbed with 1/4" tubing so, for 
my landing gear dump valve (shunts high to low pressure circuit for 
emerg. extension) I used their number SS-2P4T4. For my fuel shut-off, 
I plan to use the SS-4P4T4 for the 3/8" lines there. <<<  ]
