Ron, does your unit include a *stainless steel* drain replacement that will
fit flush with the sink bottom in a late-model Westy?  The after market kits
that I have tried all include chromed plastic drains and strainers; they are
junk, and do not fit flush with the bottom of the sink.  (As a result, the
sink will not empty completely, and you always have this collection of crud
that won't wash down...)

I have even tried going to a plumbing contractor's supply house and purchase
the correct size drains in stainless steel, but they do not fit either.
(Now I have quite a collection of these stupid little drains...)
