I recently had some trouble w/ the washers in the hot water valve on my shower/tub. I just fixed it tonight but in the process not only did I drop my hot water handle but also the cold one as well right in the tub and shattered the hot and the cold is missing 2 of the 4 prongs. Does anyone know where I could find these. The tub is an old I am thinking steel tub(not a claw foot tub), feels and looks porcelin but my dad thinks it is steel, but anyway the handles are porcelin. They have hot or cold written on them and have 4 prongs(fingers, whatever you wanna call them). I will have a picture tomorrow. Thanks in advance!!! Chris

Finally got the old tub drain out. Went to thread new drain in, but it will only go 1/4 of the way. Same apparent diameter and depth of threading as the old drain sleeve, yet it won't go even with the drain wrench/dumbbell I bought. Tried wire brushing old drain threads, no help. Anyone run into this problem/have any ideas? Could the old 60's drain pipe have proprietary threading? Both parts are brass if that helps. I suppose my new drain could be too wide at the top so the bottom treads fine then it stops? If so it is not visibly apperent. I prefer not to rip out the bedroom closet wall (not that an access panel wouldn't be a good idea for the future) to replace the whole drain/overflow pipes, but I am running out of ideas .
