And that is the plan - once I can get one. But as previously stated I don't see how I can get one AND find time to install it before around 10 am Thursday morning.

On the other hand, loosening two hose clamps, removing the hoses from the valve, and re-joining the two hoses with a plastic elbow - which is something I can pick up at any local auto parts store - seems more do-able to get the immediate result - until I can get the rebuild kit.
