When my kids were smaller we heard them chatting.
"We're going to see Granny today"
"Which Granny"
"No, the other one"
Bless 'em.

You forget @Nearly is the king of the scrap heap scavengers he finds near new stuff the jammy buggerThe inspectors will be ruling that off this thread, shiny bits and galvanising.
You would be better in 'Not quite farm engineering or a quick bodge thread.

Sounds like jealousy
plastic bit with spring in middle that went through the centre of the toilet roll and located by spring pressure into dimples in tha rather nice strong stainless wall mounting , never held very well and the roll of paper fell off annoyingly frequently when pulled ,
Drilled out the 2 dimples, cut a length of stainless m8 threaded bar stainless nylock nut on one end and a stainless wing nut on the other

Triple quilted
...........right bunch of comedians
'nother domestic one...
Pump went on 9 yr old Aeg washing machine ,so whilst fitting a new one i spotted that it actually had 2 pipes and solenoid valves for cold and hot water inlet and all wired in but they terminated into one for the cold inlet as per modern machines do now,
Anyway we have fair bit of hot water to spare and so happens i hadnt got round to getting rid of the previous scrap oneand it was from the day when they had 2 inlet pipes and all that goes with it.
de wired the hot side of the double valve on the aeg and Fitted the valve and pipe from the old machine through previously blanked off hole,on aeg in back ... and wired it up with the 2 wires from the disconnected one and low and behold ..it actually worked so the electronics must support hot as well as cold because its still cold rinse.but hot water fills for the wash saving some electric heating .if you follow.
happy days.
when it kaputs i think i will try to find a new one that doesn't just have cold fill

Been thinking about this today - how about a thermostatic mixer valve set to 40 degrees to feed the washer ?....Since I converted the Rayburn back to wood , we have plenty of hot water.
