Spigot bush

#1 Post by triumphdolomiteuk »

Dear TDC team,

I am due to replace the worn brass spigot bush (150763) and thought of replacing UKC0998 at the same time, or at the least in case it is damaged on removal.
However, I cannot find UKC0998 (it appears no longer available as UKC998 from Rimmers), and wonder what your advice would be please?

Would you replace and if so, do you know who supplies/manufacturers these still?

Many thanks

I doubt anything ever goes wrong with they retaining plates Andy,
so I would not worry.

(It's not Andy asking this question)

I agree with Ian, it is highly unlikely that part would need replacing. I believe it is a load spreader, effectively 6 washers in one. So long as the bolts have been correctly torqued for the life of the engine it will come to no harm.

The plate is there to prevent to spigot from moving
