Basin chain hole blanking stud?

[Monkfish]

Hi guys, I've just replaced the standard drain hole in our bathroom basin with a plunger type that doesn't need a plug. Having removed the plug and chain I'd like to fit a nice flat chrome stud in the chain anchor hole. I noticed that the new basin in our down stairs toilet has one, but can't find them anywhere. I could fit a bolt with a chrome domed head but wondered if there was a proper fixing?

I have had a good look on line and can not find anything, my only dea is possibly a bolt with a chrome screw/ bolt cap aon the end, atleast it will look good, possibly some good old silicon to keep it water tight.

Yes I should have. Instead I had to buy an expensive B&Q crapy one with a plastic top

God I hate B&Q!

If anyone has one they could pop in an envelope I'd be grateful.

Snap, bought two spinners today, both with blanks that aren't needed. I'll add them to the stuff in the shed that won't be needed until the 12th of never.

If it's still required just say the word.

Thanks guys. Gray's trying to sort one out for me. I'm sure other people will have the same problem though. Someone should sell them on ebay.

hmm, good idea, I don't get very many so not good idea for me, but good business idea, £1 each if you collect 1000 in a year thats £1,000 for something you get free, hmmmmm
