Default Need new Thunderstorm valves!

About a week ago, an exhaust stud in my front Thunderstorm head broke off. (Undoubtedly due to me over-torqueing like an idiot to try to stop the rattling)
My stupidity aside, my exhaust leak caused me to burn up an exhaust valve (at 130mph)

No big deal, I'll just grab a valve and take it to the local machine shop and we'll be all set. Except, I cannot find a valve anywhere, after days of searching, I'm here.

It should be a 1.575" valve with a 5/16" stem and some length (feel free to fill me in). Any one know of a source for a valve? Tryin to avoid buyin a new head
