New brass click clacker doesnt fit

[tryer101]

Hi all,

My hand basin click clack plug broke. Ordered a new one but the brass bit doesnt fit into the existing hole within the plug hole.

The brass bit is M16 - think that means 16mm diameter.
Its only marginally too big so think maybe a 14 or 15mm size would fit but I cant find a smaller brass click clacker anywhere online.

I really dont want to remove the whole drain bit from the ceramic basin.

Does anyone know where I can get a smaller brass click clacker??

Big thanks....or should I say smaller thanks

Do you mean the plug that lifts out? If so might be something here. Good supplier but I see most are to order and non returnable.

Thanks. Took a look but they all look like 16mm diameter threads.

Its the brass spring loaded bit I need, (that allows the chrome top piece to go up and down).

I'll keep looking, but keep those suggestions coming. Thx

Just a tip I had a rental property where the pop up went (after only 2 years!) i ment pulling out the basin while the tenant was there, luckily they had given a months notice as they had bought a house, so I pulled out the pop up and found a normal plug fitted as a temp measure.

Sorted. Like an idiot, there was still part of the previous brass part in the plug. Very very tight to unscrew. Thats why i thought it didnt come out to begin with. Anyway, got it out and new ckick clack fits. Thanks for all help.
