Tony, apologies for slow reply, that would be incredibly helpful if you could list your spare on eBay.

Thank you very much indeed.

The stepped plastic washer option didn't look that great as it meant I had to use a much smaller diameter bolt, so I've gone for plan B, this option uses a 6mm plastic slotted head bolt, nut and washer, 2x 2.0mm thick rubber washers and 2x stainless steel penny washers. This prevents any ally to steel contact and should stop the corrosion issue completely.  I've painted the screw head and washer with aluminium silver so it all blends in nicely.
Does anybody know how many bolts / screws  the Aceca should have?
Many thanks.
Nick

Hi james,
                The plugs are weak and none repairable. I have a new one as spare for years but it can be yours for £20.
       If you require it let me know and I will list on Ebay
   Regards Tony

As of August 2023 Dale Manufacturing posted a notice on their website that they are not accepting new work and are closing their business. 
I have used an alternative service located in Redding California named Damper Doctor for other dampers, but not AC. One of their dampers has been in service on my car for over 20 years.   Information for them can be found by googling damper repair or damper doctor.

Nick - if you can give me an accross flats measurement that would be great, I'll then try and work out what the type and size of socket is required !

Keith - nice to hear from you, many thanks for the recommendation.
