Ok, this is the tap disassembled. The brass section has a taper which under spring pressure from above keeps a watertight seal against the tapered brass insert within the alloy housing.
You can see here the hole goes right through the brass taper.

If I can draw members attention to rule number 3, in my capacity as an administrator/moderator, I can understand members frustrations and difficulties in dealing with the fall out of the 2016 referendum, not a lot we can do about it as a motoring club, just grin and bear it!
Forum terms conditions for usage 3. Members should remember this board is an open forum and is aimed at a general audience, potentially including children. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning. Threads or posts that the moderators find unacceptable will be removed if they so choose. This can include threads related to: street racing, pornography or nudity, political debates, illegal drugs, violence towards others, and any thread complaining about a member, the forum or other forums. Take that up with the respective party. If the forum moderators are informed of a post which may be deemed illegal or defamatory, the moderators reserve the right to review the post. This will not be aimed at dispute resolution or mediation. That is beyond the reasonable scope of a car forum. We will attempt to put parties in touch to resolve their issues and establish whether they are happy for the thread to continue as long as it is polite and reasonable. If the thread degrades, we will take appropriate action. That may include removing the threads or posts involved. Any person who feels that a posted message is objectionable or otherwise breaches the terms of this agreement is encouraged to contact us immediately by using the in-topic reporting tool rather than by responding directly in the thread |

Its just an on/off drain Dave It's obvious when you look properly Dave isn't it! Doh Had another look this morning at work and it's clear how it works, just a drain as Dave says. Although it does also connect the banjo and housing, to drain both sections! I'll explain later, if anyone wants to see a fool grovel! |

Interesting comment by the presenter about his instinctive desire for a seat belt. I have driven open vintage cars for 70 years with never a thought of seatbelts but driving saloons including a 1927 Rolls Royce and for the last five years and 5000 miles, our 1936 Augusta, I still reach for the non existant belt every time I set off! Funny how the brain works!

Calling all Kappa owners
2024 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Lancia Kappa, and if we can get 3 or more Kappas along to Leamington Spa there will be an official display I appreciate it is also the 40th Anniversary of the Lancia Thema but it is important to recognise the replacement for the Thema which was never sold new in the British Isles so is considerably rarer More information on the weekend is here https://lanciamc.co.uk/meetings-and-events/... Two cars confirmed so far, how many more can make it happen..... |
