Does anybody know where I could get this sealing washer for this old tap. It's been a beauty but losing to much beer. It's the seal right at the end of the spout.

Andale might be able to help you with that.

http://www.andale.com.au/

They are the type of taps I use. They've been great for a long time, with only one minor leaking problem a few years back. Nothing a bit of adjustment couldn't fix though.
 
Its called a trueflow tap, It looks like an older Downey or Andale to me, ask at your local HBS they might have a service kit, otherwise Andale.
The end washer is called a D Washer and believe it or not it starts life half round, but get a kit, clean thoroughly, replace all the parts, lube well and reassemble.

Trueflow or Floryte ?.
Hope I spelt Floryte correctly.
 
I believe this is what you are looking for,

the above seal will work if you just wanted to replace that single seal.


There are seal kits for the EK, Downey, Andale
I think the seal kits are compatible with all there Andale swing taps but please dont quote me on that one,
here are there seal kits

Its for a Truflow rather than an EK (different tap)
I'm not recommending the supplier (not against them) just get the right kit, and you are much better off servicing the whole tap.

discard my post i did not think this was not an EK tap, sorry. lucky MHB spotted that before you went ahead and brought a seal that wouldent work with due to my misidentification.
