    about 25mmx50mm, but because it's cast metal, everyone says it can't be welded, fused or anything else....it's basically f----d. what do you reckon?      jack

     i have  had them welded before they are alloy, a good welder can fix it up , but could find a good s/hand 1, the drain plug offen needs too be repaired  have welded them up before so as this does not happen again
