8mm square drive for the top plug; maybe 14mm crush washer?

Bottom is 27mm outer from memory, inner maybe 22mm. They (on mine) have viton-lipped washers you don't need to replace.

A door lock shaft is 8 mm square.
Bunnings sell them separately.
I got a nut welded onto it at taxpayers’ expense by a teacher at a part-time welding school near my old scrap of work.

The filler plug has no washer.
The drain washers are as per addo and I don’t replace them.

I'm waiting for him to fill the gearbox with 4711. Smells nice, y'know?

Good job she didn't use 71141 Sam

Unless of course she likes the smell of eau d'cat and caramelised toast...

Ahh! I see it's insomnia time for the Aussie contingent. Payback for having to suffer the insomniac Poms earlier I guess Adam

Nah; only 2100H here (DST) and I'm having trouble staying awake.

One day I'll show you blokes my "party trick" - which is, going to sleep within three breaths lying almost anywhere.

I used to be able to that Adam. I used to joke I could instantly fall asleep anywhere; up to and including a railway line...

Not any more. For all the use my bed is I'd may as well sell it

Ha! I have performed that trick (almost) by sleeping on the bitumen platform at a busy railway station.
