The spout that swivels round in our Lunar Quasar has started to leak. It's the two seals that fit on the tap body where the spout swivels. They look like rubber O two of them, but they are square section with a sort of lip and two grooves. I cannot find anyone who sells them (only O rings). Other alternative is to remove sink and fit new tap at £50 . Anybody know if you can buy them and if so where.

It would be better if you could post a picture of the mixer tap in question. However, if you Google 'Caravan Mixer Taps' then click on 'Images' there will be numerous pictures of swivel mixer taps. Once you have found a picture of the identical mixer tap just click on the picture which highlights a box. Click on 'Visit' which will take you to the corresponding website which you can then post the link. This is much easier than trying to post a photo on here.
Once we have a picture, then members have something constructive to build on to offer assistance try to find the rubber seals you need.

Is it feasible to visit your nearest Lunar dealer? as they should be able to help.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

To be quite frank, I think that would be the best and easiest course of action for the OP to take.

Thanks for replies. Son in law had a look and 3d printed two seals on his printer.
Looks ok at present - will see how long the seals last.

Had the same problem on the Venus - tap was very flimsy, and the repair didn’t hold. Ended up getting a new tap; easy to fit, just push connectors.

Hope your solution is effective; i’m glad we powered up the pump before getting to site!
