Hi,

I=E2=80=99m having great difficulty getting either of the drain taps in the T=
R2 to stop leaking. I=E2=80=99ve tried various used taps from my 45+ year =E2=
=80=9Ccollection=E2=80=9D without any success. The taps leak mostly out the=

I recently ordered a pair of new replacements from Rimmer with high hopes bu=
t after install, both leak from the side opposite the lever =E2=80=93 see pi=

ve asked Rimmer for comment, but they are closed until Tuesday (bank holiday=
Monday).

The pic is shows the engine install with the spring portion =E2=80=9Cup=E2=80=
=9D =E2=80=93 that=E2=80=99s what it tightened to.

Has anyone had success with current offerings from the various vendors? I s=

I=E2=80=99m about to give up and try the Don Elliot solution sealing the tap=

Appreciate any suggestions.

Stay well and cheers,
