Measure the diameter of the hole in the leading edge then you can compare to other valves but for the sake of around $20 is it really worth changing to a different one? The leading edge is made to take that valve and the North valve will fit snug in the leading edge.
Bear in mind replacement is not the easiest if you haven't done one before and many kite shops/repairers will not offer this service for that reason.
I have a good technique now and have success every time doing them but charge accordingly for the service.
