Last time I fitted a basin, it came with some nice fittings:

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...cier/basin.jpg

There is a nut, a penny washer, and a stud with a machine thread one
end, and a wood thread the other.

There is also a spacer (under the washer) with a skirt that fills the
gap between the stud and the very wide slot in the basin.

As you can see, it's quite difficult to describe without knowing the
names! Any clues as to what these are really called?

===============================
I think you're looking for a 'double-diameter' spacer/ washer but I'm
afraid I don't know a source. A bit of extended 'googling' might provide a
source. You'll probably find an example (steel - for comparison purposes)
on your angle grinder where it centralises and locks the grinding disk.

Used to be known as load spreading washers.

If all else fails, you could probably cannibalise the round bits from

I'd have sent it back and got one which was in focus ;-)

OK, you try taking a photo up under the back of a basin

Thanks all for the info.

This looks more like a B&Q one.

It was, a Barcelona.

The latest one I bought from there (a cheaper model) didn't have
fittings. By the time I've paid for the fittings and delivery, I'm not
much better off

I meant B&Q as opposed to Focus ;-)
