Replacement Oil filler cap for a Trolley Jack

[ny167]

I have a Draper 2 tonne lightweight trolley jack and have misplaced the oil filler cap. Can any one let me known where I can get replacements for it?

The Trolley jack is a Draper 59340

Probably Draper but it'll cost you loads; what sort of cap is it, screw on/in? male/femail? Is it just a tapered plug?

I tried Draper and they said they dont stock them.

Its similar to

but the hole is smaller than 12mm (about 5mm)

I dont really want to have to throw away a good Jack for the sake of a plug

Thanks

It’s just a standard rubber blanking plug, they come in all sizes. Have you looked in Halfords, they sell multi packs or even BNQ might have them. If not look up your local Motor Factors, they supply spares to the car trade & will probably have one; or try a Classic car trim supplier such as Woolies.

Failing that don't skip the jack, clean the oil off & stuck a lump of Gaffa tape over the hole.

Thanks everyone for your help. I went to Halfords and purchased a pack of

I managed to find one that fitted.


Thanks again

That is because Draper, like a lot of other tool companies, don't make anything themselves any more.
They are just importers who buy up any old tat from China and similar places.
