[T2] Westy Faucet Fail

[accessys at smart.net]

if at first you don't succeed,  use a bigger hammer.


seriously have you touched base with Ron at Bus Depot it seems he would 
have run into this before and maybe has a quick and easy solution.

not being that familiar with the top cover design not sure if there is an 
easy way to make enough space for it.

how much taller is it than the stock unit.??

So eventually I get some other hose to hook up to the pump, and pump/drain the tank. I then remove the drain valve, clear it out from whatever was clogging it. I then install switch, new faucet, ne drain line, and new hose from pup to faucet. I put it all back together, and test it out. I don't see any leaks. I clean up, the try to put the top down over the sink cabinet, and the faucet hits the top of the cabinet. So it won't shut. I found this - thesamba.com/vw//forum/album_page.php?pic_id=1110059 so I guess someone else ran into the same problem. I didn't see any solution. Is there one?
