My bathtub's "drain spud" (the flanged outlet through which the water leaves the tub) is brass, ugly, and we must use a rubber stopper in it as any "mechanical stopper" is long gone from the overflow pipe. I figured I could just remove this "spud" and replace it with a chromed pop-up fitting, or if necessary replace the whole outlet/overflow assembly with a new one in chrome (to match the other chrome bath fittings). The diameter of the flanged part of the spud is THREE inches, and no pop up or complete assembly I can find anywhere has a flange as big as 3 inches. (Well, my local plumbing supplier found a Kohler chromed complete assembly, but I cannot pay the $300 price tag.) I must have one with a full 3 inch flange diameter because the porcelain under the flange is cracked or missing and a smaller flange will show these imperfections. I have spent hours on Google looking for a replacement in chrome with a 3 inch diameter flange, with no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
