I will soon be putting in a new sink unit (stainless steel) and with it
a
monobloc mixer tap. I read somewhere that the tap may need to be
stabilised
to prevent flexing of the stainless steel. As I understand it, these
type
of
taps are connected with flexible tails,

I've just had to buy flexible tails because my taps (Astracast) came with
rigid tails that reached down so far they were visible every time you opened
the door. Try to get a pair of these and bolt them to the back panel.
