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.
