Description
I was finally so fed up with how janky this flushing system is and with the constantly jamming flush plate buttons that I decided to model up some things in FreeCAD to improve the situation somewhat.
Current fixes include a connection plate which joins the crappy Argos DF flushing buttons so that there is only one button. I've ripped out the dual flushing mechanism from the flushing valve anyway since that mechanism is another part that makes the valve sit ajar so that the water is constantly running.
Then I had to model up a broken screw post which holds the black flushing plate frame into place.
And the last part is a fix for the stupid lever system. My installation came without the wingnuts with the extra flange that makes it go through the black frame so that's the other reason why it becomes jammed. You will lose some button travel with this mod but at least it doesn't jam anymore.
I've also trimmed a little nub next to the hooks on the lever mechanism so decrease the likelihood of jamming even more. Or at least I think it has improved the situation.
