[Bah] Oh, what a surprise ...

Shock and wonder - the cistern for my loo requires a non-standard flush handle. Neither of the two local 'sell-everything' hardware shops stock one which would work, and neither does the bathroom shop within walking distance - although he suggested that it might need a handle from the specific manufacturer.

Of course, the cistern states "British Made", but not the manufacturer. The bowl? Completely blank. It's of a set with the basin and bath ... but they also don't say. [sigh]

In the meantime, I might be able to bodge a stand-in, using the remaining ¾ of the broken shaft.

And so the search begins.

[sigh]

This post brought to you by the "pointless minutiae" school of LJ posting.

EDIT: Have achieved a bodge solution, so it now works again, although I may be looking for a replacement in a bigger shop for when it fails again.

(I will be looking in a Plumb Centre for a spare, though - I'm not sure how long the bodge will last.)
