Hi All, As subject, I can't seem to work out a long lasting fix to connect the lever arm on flush handle to the plastic column that operates the flush inside the cistern. Admittedly the wife does have the touch of a blacksmith at times but I seem to be fixing this every 4-6 months.
Fixes so far include cable ties, clothes hanger wire and plastic coated garden wire. What's the secret? Stainless steel wire, paracord, wife training?
Thanks,
Jon
Well they usually come with a piece of stiff wire (probably about 10-gauge) bent either into an 'S' or into a double-ended hook. These should last for a number of years before eventually rusting through and breaking. You can possibly buy replacements - or it's not too difficult to fabricate something similar.
The message from Jonathan Telfer contains these words:
Normally it's just a wire bent at each end.
