Best way of reducing rad. Valve to 10mm

[ShaunCorbs]

Thanks as long as the one in my picture. Looks Abit over kill as the olive just need to be back past the shoulder. But that's all my merchants have.

You can cut them down to match the depth of the fitting

Would that have to be a hacksaw?

Slice or manual cutter eg tighten the wheel etc

Why not buy 10 mm radiator valves? My plumber fitted 10 mm TRVs (Inta I-Therm 10/8mm White Angled TRV 108TRVA) and I later fitted 10 mm lock shields when I replaced the radiators.

Sort of like that. With the reducer

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yes but taken 15mm ish off the top

I struggled cutting with a cutter as have nothing to hold back on

 

[ShaunCorbs]

A point nose pliers on the bit your cutting off etc

These wouldn't reduce the flow if used

Don’t worry about the flow, the big restriction is in the valve.
Any of the above methods are fine, it’s just about the aesthetics- which to be honest will be overlooked within a few days !!
