I recently installed the upgrade kit that GoWesty sells in a local van that I maintain. It's a worthy upgrade if you use your sink (I rarely do). The parts in it could be made and purchased elsewhere but it's much easier to order it in one shot from GoWesty. I have also installed a new oem faucet from The Sky Light Guy. As most know he purchased the original tooling and after repairs is making them now. It's a much better product than the one it replaced that was bought about 5 years ago. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of those either.
