Supplier of end of life taps
Anyone one here or know a decent place that sells taps that have gone EOL.?
Basically, I have a pair of Vitra Aries taps and one of the tap handles, the splines have worn. Tried Vitra and now EOL/NLA.

Trying to avoid replacing both bath taps and sink mixer to keep them all the same.

Next move is to trawl a plumbing place looking for the same style from another maker. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Drill through back of tap head and either tap a thread then use a grub screw or drill tap head and spindle, then insert pin through both would be alternative options.

That is a plan I have thought of, and may come to that if I can't get tap handles. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Hopefully so. £49 for just the handle is better than having to spend on replacing taps and then having to squeeze under the bath and double bend myself! 1999 Defender TD5 110
