My wife is in love with our 60 year old Kohler bath sink. In trying to replace the fixtures I've run into a wall. Can't seem to find fixtures where the faucet/spout has a base that is no larger in diameter than 1.5" (or just a hair more). The 9" - 10" spread or so of the three holes is in somewhat of a triangle pattern. The center faucet hole is set back toward the back of the sink and is close to the rear "curved" lip of the sink (which rises about 6" above the sink deck). Thus a larger diameter base can't work because there is very little room behind the faucet for the base to extend past the hole in sink. This is not an issue for the hot/cold handles as they are set farther away from the back of the sinkFor example:

The local plumbing supplier seems to be no help. I suspect I need a specialty antique reproduction supplier. Any thoughts/suggestions most appreciated.
