Here is some info from a previous msg & some photos:

I replaced my OEM faucet twice and then gave up and got a Shur-flo
from West Marine: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/
producte/10001/-1/10001/26355/0/0/shur-flo/All_2/mode+matchallpartial/
0/0

If that URL doesn't work go to West Marine and search "shur-flo". The
model you want is the one with the switch; #296493. I hooked mine up
to a step-on foot switch so I don't need my hands to turn the faucet
on---works great. I mounted the Shur-flo in the hole in the sink (the
OEM faucet base fills up the hole in the sink; the Shur-flo base is
smaller) by using two plastic discs that cover the hole from both
sides so it holds the faucet in place. I drilled a hole through the
center of these two plastic discs and dropped the faucet in. The
plastic disks are actually door knob stopper discs that you stick to
your wall behind a door so the knob doesn't ding the wall. Home
Desperate has them---have a look at these pics---it will make more
sense. Last pic is of the foot switch. Found that at a local
electronic store. I stash it in the sink cabinet when I'm on the road.
