Default 2.5in waste for sink

Hi

I've got a double basinsinkthat I need to replace the wastes for,
but I'm struggling to find anything that fits. Most wastes for sinks
seem to be 3.5in and the basin ones are 1.5in, but both of mine are
2.5in diameter. I'd need one with an outlet for the overflow and
another one need not have this (though of course this can be blanked
off).

Does anyone know of anywhere where I might pick up such things?
Ideally I'd like to get stainless steel ones with strainer baskets
rather than plugs, but at the moment desperation means I'm not that
fussy!!

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Sorry for bumping this guys, but I'm currently drawing a blank on this
and getting a bit frustrated. OK, perhaps I shouldn't have thrown
away the old waste (!), but in my naivety I presumed these things only
came in standard sizes.

I've bought some 1.5" wastes which come very close to actually
fitting, but there is only about 1mm overlap at the sides so I'm not
convinced they'd be robust enought in the cupboard under the sink.

I've tried PTS but they couldn't suggest anything. Any plumbers out
there that could post a word of advice as to where to try?

The sink that we've got in is a ceramic one, but there is no name on
it so I can't go back to the manufacturers either.

Thanks for any help!
