Default kitchen sink problem: want single-flow crosstop deck sink mixer... but height clearance limited

hi

my kitchen sink is up for replacement (someone previous tenant
obviously stood on it and dented it so it doesn't drain properly, ie
it's always collecting little puddles of dregs)

while changing over the sink, i want to take the opportunity to change
the taps to cross-top. also, with the current dual-flow spout, nobody
here likes the way you get a stream of water coming out that is ice
cold on one side and scalding on the other, so i'd like to install a
single-flow mixer (with the appropriate plumbing modifications
underneath)

unfortunately it seems like most of the standard stuff seems only to
be made in dual-flow...

the extra problem is that i only have about 180mm of clearance above
the sink, otherwise the spout will get in the way of opening the
window.

the Bristan crosstop deck sink mixer chrome (i think model id is: X
DSM C) would be good enough for me (vertical height c.150mm), but it's
dual-flow. i contacted Bristan but it seems they don't have anything
similar in single-flow. and the end of the spout is squarish profile,
and there's no screw thread, so no opportunity to fit some kind of
mixing gizmo on the front end.

likewise i contacted Pegler too, but they don't seem to have anything
suitable

so... does anyone know where i can get a suitable (spout height
180mm) crosstop deck sink mixer chrome in single flow... or some
alternative solutions...

looking forward to your suggestions!
thanks
james
