neilc Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Has anyone ever managed to replace the yellow washer bottle top with something else that fits , mine has split , how can they be £10+ , ridiculous , I've hunted through the recycling and tried countless different bottle tops but they are either too large or too small ,I don't mind spending decent money on parts but £10 for a 50p size of yellow plastic is ridiculous , any sensible suggestions would be appreciated , thanks .

Landrover17H Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Did mine recently, mine had crumbled but the bottle's OK. I had an old homebrew beer kit. This had a conical rubber-bung stopper with a tube already in it for fermentation bubble-valve gases. Sorry can't point you to another. I 've had it for an age. A lump of soft silicon, i wouildn't call this a bodge. it's better that the 'proper' item. eBay is your friend. Look under brewing instead of 'Car parts' - you might get lucky. Pix: Here you go, this is not 'it' but not unlike it. Edited June 28, 2020 by Landrover17H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I've got a nice blue peugeot one here waiting for me to it it. £2 from e-bay - so I'd measure yours and see if you can find one there - it may be necessary to drill a hole in it for the tube.
