Yes, that helps, and thanks to Speedy Jim for the link. I guess I'll see
how it goes when I get the other sink off, if the support for the
brackets is tough enough. I don't know if the brackets for the present
sink will work with the replacement. Maybe with an adjustment or maybe
they will fit as is, it's hard to tell not having taken the first sink
off yet.

Thanks for the ideas.
