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?

What you have is an elbow from a Morris 8. As long as it fits its ok
