Cartridges are a nightmare. You have a massive variation on the top
shaft type - size and number of splines (why oh why could they not have
settled on a standard?) and various parameters on the other bits.

Some taps I've had, the only way to get a replacement cartridge was to
buy a new tap! (for an edge case where changing the cartridge was a lot
easier than changing the tap due to access underneath).
