19 Yr Old Rad Bleed Grub Screw

[adrian.whyte]

Hi - New to this site.

Can anyone tell me how I can get hold of a new bleed grub screw for my old but good radiators. The new ones you can buy for fitting into modern rads are too small. The ones in my rads are slightly bigger than these.

I have a number of rads that need these replacing - seems a shame to throw away good rads because of knackered bleed screws.

proper plumbers merchant, the older yard the better chance.

Tried that with no luck, however have tried an engineers shop who have advised it is an M6 thread and can supply a brass M6 allen key socket screw that they can modify to create the bleed screw. So hopefully sorted.
