Right - possibly the most obscure thing I've ever posted 🙂
I'm after a couple of rubber or silicone bungs to fit a 68mm drainpipe. need to be 62mm or so at the narrow end.
don't care about material or colour.
donation to charity of choice waiting.
anyone?
Thanks

Have a look on here - I've got some fairly sized obscure feet for 50's tables and other bungs and stuff from them. [url=www.componentforce.co.uk]www.componentforce.co.uk[/url]

Thanks - yes - they want a min order value of £25 🙁 I only need 2 and they won't do free samples unless there's an order to come..

sorry, I didn't know about the minimum order thing - I've tended to buy a number of items at once.
Hope you find somewhere selling something similar with no minimum.

Thanks - spotted that seller too - its Hong Kong based and delivery looks like an age. It is my second choice...

Alternatively, depending on how permanent/water-tight/pressured you need the seal to be I would probably cut some disks out of wood with my jigsaw (blade at an angle), wrap with inner tube and bung that in! 🙂
indeed - looking for a neater finish though

try searching for 'end cap' rather than bung.

cheers - blimey there's whole world of stuff out there... sadly nothing that jumps out for 68mm
That link from houndlegs is a goody - thanks. blimey nearly £30 for 2 lumps of rubber...

Bit left field but try your local pet shop, eg, [url= http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=183&pf_id=51361&utm_source=ShoppingFeed&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CNqdnZ2xv8gCFaIIwwodZnYFzA ]rubber dog ball..[/url]
ha ha! that's a great idea 🙂

probably better with something like a flexseal rubber endcap, at least they can be fastened relatively securely.
One of these: http://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-boss-adaptor-40mm-pack-of-5/89174 and one of these: http://www.screwfix.com/p/socket-plug-40mm/34151
Can't remember the outer diameter of the boss adapter but they are about drainpipe size.
yes - my application needs to have the ability to easily remove the end cap (at least one) so the jubilee clip is a bit overkill. the pipe won't have liquid in but will live outdoors. what I need is the cap that is a snug fit for a 68mm pipe...
will research dog balls (ahem) - may still be the cheapest
Thank you STW 🙂
