Replacement radiator bleed valves?

    Hi again,

    Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for replacement radiator bleed valves, for older radiators?

    This is for a radiator from the late 80s, end-mounted valve which looks something like this: https://img.wonderhowto.com/img/41/55/63475396647998/0/bleed-radiator-get-air-out.1280x600.jpg

    It looks quite different to the standard 3/8" valve on the newest radiator in the house.

    Any help would be great! I'm looking to replace it as it's leaking a bit.

    Any plumbing supplier will have those.

    For an older radiator though? I don't know what to ask for, all I know is it's different to the modern ones :/
