Hi Uwe,
I have the same thing on my 59 Ambassador however the plunger is missing. I
don't think it's worth the effort as it's likely to leak anyway. It was
obviously not a very good system as it was only around for a couple of
years. I'm adding an adapter to the bottom of the tank that accepts the
modern Valtera valve. That way, I can get a replacement anywhere in North
America.
