Thank you for the assistance. The URLs I used for my pictures were temporary I guess. So despite them working for me when I posted, they quickly became inaccessible.
The springs are the same as “old style delta” in every way, but about 2/3 the length. Delta seats are too fat (I bought a pack with old style and new). Depicted below (hopefully LOL) are my original seats and springs.
I actually tried replacing my existing springs by shortening some of the delta ones, although it made the seats press against the yin-yang mixing plate more there was no change in leakiness.
If unidentifiable, can the whole mechanism be replaced with a standard thing or would I need a plumber to change the little 4-way pipe box (depicted above) that receives the cartridge stem thing to fit a different make? The black part which holds the seats and springs (in the image above) seems pretty “in there” and I was hesitant to try and force it out, maybe it is removable and replaceable with something more common.
Hopefully, the pictures will work this time. If not, I will serve them off my computer like a man. The preview thing has once again shown the images, but yeah…
Thanks,
