replacing a towel rail

[klynchk]

Hi
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right forum.

One of the holders for my towel rail has failed and I'm struggling to replace it without drilling new holes in the wall. I'm looking to replace the failed component.

The picture above shows the part I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a supplier of a towel rail with the holes that screw to the wall having a distance of 30mm.
I've tried local suppliers (Pearces, Chesham & Isaac Lord in Wycombe) and they can supply replacement parts but the gap between the holes is about 33mm and thus I'd have to drill the wall to fit the new parts.
Please can someone advise a supplier that can supply replacement parts - IE a towel rail where the distance between the fixing screws is 30mm rather than the new standard 33mm

Thanks

Kevin

Are you measuring your 30mm between the edges of your marks, or the true hole centers?

I'm measuring 30mm between the true hole centres.

Just thought I'd check, common mistake.

Not sure if the holes are the same but you could contact the seller.

That looks exactly what I'm after as you suggest I'll contact seller

Use a smaller screw and 3mm will be of no consequence.[/u]
