Hi Lance,
I will have a rumage, I think I might have one, but am un-sure of the condition. Those filter clean nozzle's are a bit of a nightmare, they are made of a hard rubber, not plastic, hence why you never emptied the wash tub by attaching an emptying hose to the nozzle, but emptied by the valve box. I will let you know. Keith |

Hi Al the metal square in the corner has a rubber flap. To empty push hose into hole and it cuts off supply to filter tray, mine had rotted and I had to block it completely as it sprayed water up in the air. I then had to hold a later super matic pipe over the filter spout ( it's not an ideal fit ). Lance could this not be replaced by a later plastic one ? I know it would not be original but would work. Have you the red filter tray ?

Hi Lance & Ricky,
You maybe able to adapt a newer filter flow nozzel, but could be tricky as the last supermatic's f/f nozzel had the entry at the top. You could turn it upside down keep the bend and about an inch of the hose and push this into the entry hose at the back of the tub..if you want me to have a look for the spare i have drop me a line. Cheers Keith |

Sorry not to be able to help on the spares front, Lance. Hopefully the required component will surface somewhere, so you can get the machine operating as it should. Fingers crossed. Paul |

Sorry to hear about the nozzle Lance, is this the model Austin picked up from Stafford? I was sure that one had all pipes replaced? are you using it as a boil wash daily driver then?
Dont have any spares for these so creativity ensues, but am sure Keith will come up trumps for you!! I wonder if those new 3 D Printers will be suitable for re-producing vintage parts like these? |
