Now what to use….
If I had an old door boot I could cut something out of that, but I don’t have one.
A sheet of rubber pond liner, yes I have some of that, but it’s to thin and the latch isn’t tight.
Ho I now, I will sacrifice one of my rubber car mats I have in the boot.
Cut a ring out of the middle thickest part.

One, two gallon watering can of water added, it’s dry.
Second, two gallon can full added, still dry around the sump door.
Ho No, drip drip drip could be heard.
On hands and knees I can see the drips.

Both ends of the pipe which runs from the sump to the float switch tub, I will have a closer look tomorrow.

Float switch tub end.
The pipe is in pretty bad condition, all the other seem to have fared much better.

Things just dont last these days
Lee nothing lasts now days, my Grandads personal irrigation pipe lasted him 80 years and then it got handed on to my dad so it must be about 110 years old not a crack nothing, as smooth as the day it came out of the London Rubber Companies doors.
I have done a quick letter of complaint to Watchdog on your behalf

Hi Ian
yes all the bendix i've seen have english electric motors, though in the liberator and wringer washers I've worked on the motors have been unlabled and had simpler end frames to suit. The transmission was via the westinghouse 3belt system, well it was a westinghouse designed machine.
Heres the original motor.
And one common thing I've found with english electric motors is that the wires between the terminals and the coils are rubber sleaved and have often perished.
So Lee if you have motor problems, check these wires. I've had to rewire a couple.
Now back to Bendix.

Bendix Parts
Because Bendix laundry was produced under licence, many firms in the UK produced their parts, Fisher & Ludlow produced all the frame pressings and others, many parts where all sourced from the West Midlands, The Black Country, the timers made by Chamberlain & Hookham Ltd, Birmingham - I believe they where also assembled at the East Lancs Road factory in Liverpool as well...again where the big English Electric factory was, makes sense really, best of all!!

Bendix Parts
Morning Lee, have never seen an old wesher that doesnt need pipework replaced, those clips are usually the issue, cutting into the rubber, I usually but hose clamps on new pipes, much safer than trying to get them back on without an eye injury!!
Got to storage and found the Bendix parts when you need any - Darren C and myself got them from Ians shop in Stamford when he was closing, mainly for the smaller bolt down machine.....

What a wonderfull
collection of parts Mike, and lovely packaging, great you saved them. Sorry to seem to be begging Mike, but kris' bolt down needs a new door gasket if you have a spare, I was thinking trying out pressure cooker gaskets as a starting point.
Thanks, obviously no hurry as he's all go with the lt.

Right on with the bodge now what can I use this time, modern drain hose is too big, found that out already.
Several other pieces of pipe kicking around where to big or far too small.
Wait a minute; I have a yellow garden hose will that fit.

Yes it’s very tight but I think it will do, so I sacrifice a foot of my garden hose.
Soaked in boiling water to soften up and stretched over the handle of a screwdriver, a little washing up liquid a lot of pushing and swearing the sump end is on and secured.

The float switch tub end, lots of corrosion here and some of the spout has broken off so this must be looked at in the future to prevent any further decay.
