Yes, the Sureflo is the way to go.  Go Westy's kit includes a stainless
steel plate to cover the larger hole, a one way valve for the city line, and
instructions.  I got spoiled by this faucet in my EVC-- the dual rotation of
the spout and variable flow with both pump and city water are game changers!

Unfortunately they are sold out, but it's worth the wait.

Subject: Water spout question

Hi listers,

        At the end of a wonderful camping weekend my girlfriend pointed out
that the water spout in the sink had developed a leak.  There is a plastic
washer that marks the spot where the spout swivels as you pick it up and
down.  When the water is turned on there is now a leak there.  When the
water is off no leak.  It pretty much drains into the sink and is not bad
yet.

Does anyone have experience with this?  Is this a fix I can do on the spout
or is this a indicator that I should order a new spout?  A few weeks ago the
same spout had a problem making contact when turned and list members here
talked me through the repair of the wires.  That electrical repair is still
working nicely.  So is this type of leak the sign of  of the end of the
spout or can someone suggest a repair ?

Other then Go Westy do other venders also carry a replacement?

Tips and suggestions greatly appreciated.
