Hi folks,
Need to fix a leaking tap and have been watching a few youtube videos where one of the presenters said that most common washers are half inch ,I was looking at this pack of 10 on ebay,
1/2" INCH FLAT TAP WASHER / WASHERS X 10 | eBay
Its the old traditional kind of tap mixer in batroom sink, hot and cold on one tap, with the finger prongs to turn on.
Thanks for any clarification.

I think AQ's description could be misleading.AQ, by 'finger prongs' do you mean a 'Victorian' style handle? And the one for hot and cold are separate - they come out either side of the main tap body? And to turn each tap on requires a few turns, and not a quarter-turn?If yes, yes and yes, then yes.1

Wow thats one hell of a link
Just FYI -in case you are not aware, you can generally truncate most web links at the 1st ? mark - keeps the place looking a bit tidier
i.e.
