I have a choice of sound used ones here in Melbourne, Australia, some alloy and one steel as I recall. One could easily be posted. Will round-up the ones I have and take photos in about 10 hrs. Not sure how to post them here though........Phil

Actually it is a water hose inlet elbow, water flows in through the bottom hose, is heated and flows out through the top hose.
Have you tried MMOC Club Spares?
