Well spotted!..I found another but beware of the copper sleeving inside the plastic spigots as it rots and the plastic closes up..Im still waiting for a polished alloy one that is being made..I will post it up once its done..The ford units are exceptionally hard to find...Cheers...Ziga

Yeah..Its extorsionate!..The spout looks damaged as well..You can warm them gently and re-sleeve but that look's knackered..Im going for an alloy one as the originals are literally like hen's teeth...

There are alternatives available that do a better job IMO. I'll take a picture of mine when the sun comes out.
