This has probably been done to death, but both my taps had started to drip when switched OFF, so now replaced with OMG types, which seem to be a fair copy (although OFF position now has one lever pointing forward and another behind). I would really like to rebuild my original taps but I need the red/brown rubber gasket (or is it called a diaphragm?) as per picture. Does anyone know if these are available anywhere? Or is it possible to buy sheet Viton with 2.5mm thickness?IMG_2368.JPG
 
Thank you, that looks like it would do the job, but £35 with P+P from France (for 2)! I will if I have to, but maybe someone knows a UK supplier?

I bought viton sheet on ebay, punched the holes and carefully cut the outside using a Stanley knife with a lino cutting blade. I used the original to make a template first.
 
Thanks. Delta Rubber are just around the corner from me so I will give them a call. Can't see any reference to Viton though. Robin, do you remember what type of rubber sheet you ordered and are your taps still leak free?
 
I bought one from Mdina which was problematic. Don't remember why. That's why I went the DIY approach. My viton sheet was 2mm, been leak free over a year now.
