I've got 2 large storage boxes full of sink spares here, I'm sure
others in the trade have too.

It's back in place for now, but here's the identical piece someone else
had problems with

That looks like a bog standard single sink strainer/outlet. What
difference is it to a standard part? Any chance of a pic underneath?

It most certainly is not a standard sink outlet. I have tried fitting the
standard (stainless steel) one, and ignoring the fact it comes with an
overflow (which this does not have), the profile of the composite sink
just doesn't fit the standard top piece.

Here's a series of photos I've taken ... apologies for plumbers mait.

As far as I can see, the top piece *has* to have that profile. Anything
else, and it won't seat into the sinkhole.
