Saved by polymorph....
bar shower developed a continuous drip from the 1/4 turn flow valve. Got a tuit so pulled out the old to measure & get a new. Oh dear. No online source had the same spec. Nearest was very close but the splined head of the spindle was 7.6mm, diameter of my original dud was 9.8mm.... For 7 quid posted I ordered one yesterday & it arrived today (tap magician, eBay). So out with the polymorph https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B017SA92O4 and ten minutes later I had moulded myself a bush to enable the smaller replacement spindle to fit snugly & exactly into the the shower control knob. All back together & job done! Assuming the shower doesn't get above 60deg all should be ok :-) Result IMHO. -- Jim K ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
