Broke my EWL beer engine
Broke my EWL beer engine
Drat, I just broke my pump
I was trying to diagnose a leak and while reassembling the main cylinder I snapped the plastic on the top cap. It's not fixable and I need a replacement part but on trying to contact EWL their website is down and it looks like they've gone into administration
Very sad.
Anywhere else to look for spares?
Thanks,
Jim.

Re: Broke my EWL beer engine
Could you post a picture of the broken part and surrounding area? You could also telephone the admistrators on 01274598585 or email nbaker@rushtonsifs and ask if anyone is currently handling their sales department. It's possibly a standard fitment.jimwix wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 12:08 pmDrat, I just broke my pump

Re: Broke my EWL beer engine
Its probably staring me in the face but I can't see how to add a pic here?
Re: Broke my EWL beer engine
OK, I found the 'how to post pictures' in FAQ.
But I don't get the toolbar that includes the img button, and I don't have the option to add an attachment below.

Re: Broke my EWL beer engine
You need a couple more posts to be able to put pictures up, I think. Shouldn't be difficult to do!

I'm no expert, but sadly it does look a bespoke part.

Bit of a long shot but this must be worth a try

Thank you both, I emailed rlbs and Rushtons. I'll let you know if I have any joy.
Re: Broke my EWL beer engine
Well I didn't get anywhere back then and a couple of weeks ago I was looking at the broken pump thinking there's no point keeping it any longer, but decided to have a last go at sorting it. I tried RLBS again to see if there was another cylinder I could swap in but this time they came back and said that they had refurbished cap to replace the one I broke.
I've just received it and will soon get the pump back together and the summer beer a flowing.
Happy days!
and 'rolling hills, fields, trees, sea view?' - sorry, I was a little slow there (like a year) - groan.
