Expanding rubber bung

[Sthurley]

Hello all, a very basic question (I think), I need to replace the expanding rubber bung on the transom of my ribeye. The one I have is dozed and expands by screwing a wing nut (plastic). I can find the same one, other than in South Africa! What is the view on the lever type? Or do you recommend anything else? Current hole is 22 to 23mm

Thanks

Stephen

I have what I assume you describe as the "lever type" and would have no reservation about fitting as a replacement for the wingnut type. Can Ribeye not supply a replacement though?

Have you tried contacting Ribeye themselves? They were able to sell me one directly when I needed to replace mine. IIRC they didn't have it visible at all on their website, but when I sent them an email asking what a suitable replacement would be they indicated they had a stock (mine was an S650)
