I've just been replacing the ceramic valves in our bathroom taps and the little plastic indices have broken so I'd like to know where I can get replacements that don't cost silly money, if anyone knows a place.
I tried Ideal Standard and they want a stupid amount for two little plastic bungs.
I really don't care if the indices have red and blue on them, or even the Ideal Standard logo.

I want a load of them as well so that when I'm replacing valves for customers, I can finish the job properly.
The link is so you can see what Ideal Standard are charging.

Thanks for that but they're just as expensive - £6.53 for two bits of plastic!
They probably cost less than 1p to produce as well.
 
I could but:
A - it's in my house and my Wife wouldn't let me get away with that.
B - one of them has broken into a few pieces.
C - I'd like to be able to replace them properly, in the taps I repair for my customers.
Thanks for the suggestion though :)
 
New tap :D easier in the long run
