3/8 inch toilet handle

[Bladze]

Recently decided to do up the bathroom and thought the toilet handle could do with a change. However, it would seem that I have a 3/8 inch hole in the cistern. It would seem that getting hold of 3/8 inch toilet handles is almost impossible. So far, I have managed to find 1! Its cheaply made, it looks cheap and is generally a poor quality handle.

I have been to the local plumbing merchant and he only has the 1. I've looked on the internet and it seems that there is 1 type of crap handle for sale.

Can anyone advise me where I might be able to find a better 3/8 inch toilet handle?! Changing the whole cistern to a 1/2 inch is a bit expensive.

Thanks

Al

You'd be better talking to the cistern manufacturer.

Drill it to 1/2". Get yourself a bit from *********.

It's not the handle itself that is 3/8" but the bush connecting it to the cistern. You can buy a good quality standard 1/2" handle and use the bush from the old 3/8" one to adapt it. Either that or try online at BES.

Anyway, here's a link to one that I've found for you:
