Yes I know you can get the complete unit from Mira for around £30, but
it seems silly to pay that when I am neither that desperate, nor when I
only need one small plastic part of the whole assembly...

So I wondered if anyone might be in the process of taking one out and
might be able to salvage the part.


The shower head and pipe, fits into a plastic holder. Press a large
button on the holder and you can slide the entire thing up and down a
pole bracketed to the wall, to suit the height of the user.

The head actually drops into a large C shaped light grey bracket, in
the holder, which allows you to set the angle of the head. It is that
grey C shaped bit of plastic I am seeking, should anyone happen across
one please. It just rotates so it is at 90 deg to the holder and clicks
into place.

Harry,

Not quite answering your question, but it may be of interest to you for
information.

I bought the complete showerhead holder assembly for a Mira Sports shower
from my local Plumb Center for £16.80 inc. vat (Catalogue No D59702 Mira
Response 411.23 Clamp Bracket Assembly) after finally surrendering and
buying the whole assembly after several attempts at repairing the old one.

Now the unfortunate thing is, I threw the old one with the part that you're
after, into the bin a few weeks ago.

There is a firm around, showerspares, or similar that are cheaper then
what Mira are and I do believe they do smaller spares without having to
buy the complete assembly!...

Having just got out of the shower, I've remembered I replaced the whole
riser bar and head-holder on mine a few years ago, can you pinpoint the
actual part on the Shower Doctor site you're after?

If it's the type I used to have I could have a nose in the loft, I
generally keep bits in case they come in handy ...

It is the same riser on several models, but if you look at this
diagram..

http://www.showerdoc.com/mira-sport-...-shower-spares

Part #6 is the entire assembly. Where the shower head drops into #6
there is a C shaped grey plastic part, which grips the fitting on the
end of the hose (#7). The C shaped part allows the angle of the head to
be adjusted via click stops. If it is turned 90 deg, it can be eased
out of #6.

In its broken state it still works, but it is a bit of a faff, to get
back in when it falls out.

Cheers..

Not what you want but I bought the complete unit and replaced the lot
when this happened. I kept the old, non-broken, parts for spares.

What about buring a generic riser and bracket from a plumbers merchant.
Surely it doesn't need to be Mira.

Part #6 is the entire assembly.

That's the type I have now, so the previous riser I might have stashed
somewhere is an older model, part #12 on this diagram.

set up a search on the site which will email you when someone does so.

That shows two completely different brackets in the photo, are they
supplying two?

The one I need is the top one in the photo, or rather just the C shaped
