Genesis 300 series LP valve needed

I am looking for a single valve from an LP 300 series front control Genesis. These, like the one I am working on, sometimes get knocked over and valve stems broken. If someone has a manifold with just one intact valve, that’s all I need to get this one back in action.
 
Would the top part be enough?

I think the upper part of the valve is the same for LP and NG. If the upper part will work I can send the LP one so it's numbers matching.

I want to keep the NG valve body and core in case I move and have NG avail.

DanHoo that would be perfect as mine works but just the stem end is broken off. Give me a couple days to experiment with substituting a Silver valve. I will let you know. Thank you for your willingness to help. I will be in touch.
 
Hey Jon Tofte, any luck with the valves? I'm also in need of a set of 3 for my front control Genesis.
 
Will a set of valves from a Side controlled Genesis E3xx work on a Front control E3xx grill? I just transposed them and the only difference I noticed is that they stop 90 degrees different in the close position.

The picture in the middle is the old ones (bent) and picture #4 is the one I just installed.

This is the valve cover as noted in the pictures. Forgive me if I'm calling the part changed the wrong name.

I was able to get one from a member here. I unfortunately don’t have any left. I am not sure about interchanging side control valves with front control ones. I assume you are talking about just the internals since the whole valve us different because of the 45 degree angle used on the front control vs 90 degrees on the “sidewinder.”
 
I took the valve covers from a side-controlled Genesis 310 and placed it on a Front control E3xx grill.

Two problems:

1st, the open and close indicators on the knobs do not match. The knob shows close when the gas is open, and open when the gas is closed; a dangerous situation.

2nd, only the leftmost burner lights up. The other two are not receving any gas and thus NOT lighting up.

Please help me understand which part needs to be replaced here.
 
The long one is the new one. The short one is the broken one. See the rest of the pictures on post #6 on this thread.

The covers do look identical, but the internals much be different. Uggghhh. It sounds like you are not going to be able to mix valves from different grill models
 
Thanks Brett. $90 is a bit on the high side for three valves for a grill I'm flipping. I've been waiting to find a donor grill but I think I will have to bite the bullet and order them.
