Yeah, thanks Oz, it's a bit of a beggar to be sure. Found a uk source of NPT fittings so have ordered up a small selection of bits, to come up with what I want. The supplier, when helping me pick the bits, also pointed out that I could swap the drain plug from the other side, to blank off where the valve is now, and use the other side for the new fittings, where I have better access. Obvious but good idea.
When I do the job, I'll report back and post pictures.
