Swirl Pot Brass Plug required for my Griff... TVR Car Parts list them :-

RRP: £4.35
To order this part please contact us

But have no stock... any thoughts on where I may get one... have looked on Clever Trevor / Power / Greens / etc... but no luck???
The one I have has split the brass (O ring gone hard).. so air getting in / water out etc....

Steve Heath does a good replacement plug which can be undone with a large allen key. It also has a coloured magnetic cover (choice of a couple of colours). Bit more expensive but worth it IMHO.

The usual breakers (Bell hill and Douglas valley) should be able to help you at some extortionate cost wink You could pop into a local engineers/metal fabricators.

Found it... cheers.. will give him a call tomoro.. the annoying thing is if I could make the thread, I could turn one.... it's a std radiator thread... some sort of BSP I think as the blanking plug from my pluming box screws it... only 1/3 of the thread lenght though so may blow out in the Ali bottle... shame... I'm sure it would work... anyone used anything similar??
