Bill,
Glad you had luck finding a new sink trap.
But the battle has just begun. The old plastic fitting
that screws to the metal strainer on the metal sink bowl
can be a real pain to get off.
Mine did not want to turn.
I was almost ready to take my westy to a plumber.
I finally used a hacksaw blade with one of those little handles.
Then I carefully cut the plastic part until it split.
Then finally, it did screw off. I had to be careful not to cut into
the metal thread from the sink.
Don't know why the thing was so stuck.
I think the old plastic shrunk over the years.
Good luck
Harald
90 westy
