Hi Wes

Yes i do have the washer and no joy.

I will order one but i may for fun knock a plastic one up in the morning as i have loads of old oil cans kicking about.

Definitely interested in how the chute has been modified though as its a chore taking it off daily if there is a viable solution.

Many thanks guys

The bolt and nyloc nut on the opposite side of the chute to the wrench and washer is critical. The adjustment is not done just by tightening the nyloc nut as you’d think, it is adjusted by the bolt which has only half a revolution of travel. Once that bolt has set the torque if you like, then tighten the nyloc to that. My lads take the spout off every night and we have no probs at all in it moving whilst at work my friend.

Well I had 5 minutes before the start of the day, had a old oil can kicking about so thought I’d give Al’s fix a go. 

5 minutes and I’d roughly cut out a plastic shim. Chit is tighter than a Scots wallet now! 

Get me out of trouble for the time been. 

Cheers guys
