I haven't taken pictures yet, but after waiting for a new sink from CD that was backordered 2 months ago, we finally received a shiny new sink. (The old sink had corroded due to a stupid storage error on our part)
Installation went very well and took less than an hour.
We did not have to unscrew the 2-drawer framing to get inside, we simply took out the two drawers and with a flashlight found two screws clamping down the old sink. We used a short screw driver to get those out and then tapped the old sink out. (We had previously detached the hose clamp)The new sink fit perfectly, but was deeper than the old, so we had to use a jigsaw to cut out a shallow dip in the top drawer so the hose would not be in the way of the drawer.We put a small amount of "goop" (glue) around the new sink perimter and placed a bunch of bottled water in the sink to weigh it down while the glue set overnight. The new sink is so shiny and makes our little galley all that much nicer. Rewarding project.

Projects are always easier if you don't need to use a tap ...
