I did link the american standard site to the sink in my original post, again it is at:
American Standard Canada | Products | Sinks | Akron Wall Hung
I no longer need the support as it is mounted into a counter top, but I do need the strainer to go into the sink and the outside diameter of the threads on the strainer that came out of the sink measured 2 7/8". This is too small for the standard 3 1/2" kitchen drain and to large for the 2" bar sink strainers.
thanks for your response though,
=)
