03/07/22 Tap

Cold water tap
New Tap securing thread is 1cm smaller than old tap! Therefore the hole for tap on the smev sink hob unit is to big! So in 5 yrs manufacturers have changed specs! 
Gotta love today!

Going to have to make 2 washers for top and bottom 

04/07/22
Sorted tap!
Using hole cutters!
Cut a disc out of 5 mm ply then a  corresponding hole in centre to fit threaded part of tap.
In a moment of genius 😂 decided to cut a small piece out of the ply disc to allow me to thread the wires thru without having to dismantle and disconnect the wiring.
So undid the retaing nut lifted the tap slid the wooden washer into place dropped it back in the hole and threaded the locking nut back on! 

More blood sweat and tears avoided! 


Now what! 
Oh yeah thought it best to check 12 v inputs etc whilst I'd been fiddling and flippin earth wire came loose from solar panel! Easy fix for once!
