Anyone know of a supplier? Red Insert

Anyone know if you can buy the little red inserts for the "Insert - Manifold Press In"?

Seems a shame to pay good money when its only this bit thats bust.

Insert at Rimmers

Insert at DMGRS

I miss not having a local scrap yard....

I've asked a similar question but never got an answer and spent a lot of time during lockdown trying to source the bigger assembly (think its was 12mm). Components could prove impossible but would love to hear if anyone can source assemblies. These are 'press-in' fittings with the star circlip - difficult to remove without destroying.

XPart's eBay shop has them, post free so may actually be cheapest around.

Thanks, yes it is. And you're right.
Seems mad for a bit that probably cost thrupence, often breaks and would be simple to fit.
But if no one offers them for sale I guess I'll buy the complete assembly from DMGRS.
