Hi
i'm looking for a practical way to keep this tap going. It was dripping but improved if every so often i gave it a good shove closed. However, i did this recently and the tap snapped off. It is really old and in a really old kitchen. We're in the process of planning for a new one, so I don't really want to have to mess around with it too much until then. It still functions and we had been using pliers to turn it on, but now I have some grips which are cable-tied closed and act as a lever. Does anyone have any more ideas of what might serve as a temporary 'handle' on the tap which is a little less precarious than my current method? I was thinking of something smaller which may be able to be gripped around or there is actually some thread left inside so could screw something down to act as the handle?
Cheers!
