Need Help Finding an Odd Sized Strainer Basket.

11 years ago

Hi, I'm renovating my grandparents house that was built in the 1930's. The kitchen sink was made by the Standard Sanitation Company, they became American Standard, I believe that the sink is enamel on cast iron. Each basin is deep but it's not a deep fireclay or farm house sink. One of the drain openings is 5 inches. I have found some 4.5 inch strainers but no 5's, even for commercial sinks. Has anyone ever had to find an odd sized strainer & basket?

I don't want to replace the sink because the tile on the counter & backsplash are all original so I would never be able to replace it if was damaged. Could this sink be a one off? Could I use the 4.5 strainer & have a sleeve or flang fabricated to sit it in? Thanks for any help & advise.
