Hoover Washing Machine Drum Spider41014218

The spider was all that was needed. The drum was OK. Buying a drum complete with spider was unnecessarily expensive. It might not be the most elegant solution to fit the new spider to the drum but here goes if anyone is interested. I cut the heads off the backs of the rivets with a countersink bit and prised the old spider off the drum. The new spider located positively on the remaining bodies of the rivets. The spider and drum were then clamped together with 6mm zinc-plated roofing bolts, cut to length, passing through the holes in the rivets. The nuts at the back of the spider were then locked with (my wife's) nail varnish.
