Getting the pieces ready:
It’s not elegant but hey it works- strapped on and shimmed to get it within the 7/8″ Inch required by the radiator:

Totally forgot to post photos of our now working faucet, and disposal button, thanks to the granite guys most recent visit…

It’s official: Shampoos are movin on up!
These pipes have been a part of the bathroom for so long… Very useful for hanging items. It was sad to see them go…
