Despite searching for ages I can't find anyone in the UK who sells, ON
ITS OWN, the stainless steel basket strainer plugs for kitchen sinks.
Here's a picture of one:

(the plug is on the left)

problem is that one only comes with the receptacle that attaches to
the sink, yet I only want the plug.

Any ideas on a suitable online retailer please?

Thanks

Across the centre on top it's 80mm .If you turn it over and measure
the foot of the tapered part at the outside of the holes it's 75mm
across .The pin that projects underneath measures about 55mm from the
top edge . I'll try and post a link to a pic later but it looks
exactly like the Partridge one . Maybe it's from the same Family
( That's a joke for David Cassidy fans) :-)

I saw plastic bags each containing 2 of these in the plumbing section of my
local B&Q (Havant) a few months ago. I nearly bought a pair.

My 'local' B&Q is many miles away, so if you could still post pics of
your plug/basket please that'll be great. :-)
