Anyone know what I can replace 1.5 bowl IKEA sink wastes with ?   
I would like to replace the IKEA sink waste and pipework with standard 
non-IKEA fittings.
I have found over several years that the seals on the IKEA kit is not 
reliable.
It is a 1.5 bowl sink, overflows are no-standard I think.
McAlpine based or something similar.
If you have any pointers or some info on this I would appreciate it.
Storeman in merchants recommended a McAlpine kit that he thought would do 
the trick, but it would involve some experimentation I
think.

Regards
Stuart
