Tap Dilemma

[tico]

Any offers on identifying this tap?
Mounted on the wet bar of a Targa 31.
At some stage someone has dis-assembled it to clean the cartridge, but has stripped the thread on the plastic plug that compresses the seals... hence it can't be tightened enough and results in a constant drip.
Could do with a service kit or even a tap with the same plug/cartridge so that I can cannibalise it.
There's no chance of getting to the underside to replace the tap, so a repair is my best option.

As Mike K has implied, Penguin would have been the OE supplier of the tap. Ref getting to the underside of the tap, there's usually a way, eg by removing a fridge or coolbox cooler to create an access route (this is what I had to do replacing the tap on my Targa 37).

Thanks guys.... already been in touch with Penguin.. no joy. Altho it does look very similar to their RR range!
JtB.. I wish! took the cockpit fridge out as that would be the logical access, but no! In their infinite wisdom there is a bulkhead glassed in all the way up. It would appear that the only access is through the ceiling of the aft cabin and i'm unwilling to rip down the panels (they are siliconed up there)

These guy's were quite helpful when I needed some Hansgrohe parts for the shower on my bathing platform.

Is it definitely a bulkhead all the way up? Bit unusual to have a bulkhead higher than the deck. If there's nothing underneath the sink (ie it's just closed void, it's not borrowed space for the accommodation below) I'd cut an access hole through from the side of the fridge compartment, or under the helm seat, or even through the base of the helm seat - whatever way I could get at it and hide the opening. If you're not sure what's in there, just drill a 12mm hole first and stick a £5 ebay boroscope camera through and have a look before making a proper opening.

OK, not strictly speaking a bulkhead, but a glassed in wall of grp between the fridge location and the sink.
may well go with the small hole and endoscope to check followed by the jigsaw / hole cutter to gain access ... good idea.
If I could find a replacement part it would be a whole lot easier, In fact I may strip it this w/end and make a replacement.
