    Replacing bathroom basin tap gland - wrong thread type?

    Thanks, did this. They didn't have anything that matched the old thread, tested it by screwing it into a sample and agreed it was a different thread. Rather than muck around with the old taps and trying to source old components, I fitted new taps. Way less hassle and thankfully was...
