| Dial Details | Original dbl. sink dial had some deep HL's, that could have been removed by cleaning. Unfortunately one dial screw was was screwed so far in it spread out the dial foot and the screw slot was stripped of locking it in placed and the dial was cracked trying to lever it out. It was replaced with a SS one from spares. |
