Put "kitchen taps with pull outs" into ebay.

Do you think this one will fit a Bav 30?

Looks ok to me the backing plate may be a bit different but should not be a problem, just need to understand what the tails are so you know what fitting may be required if any to the pipe ends
Email them to ask.

Not sure about this specific example, but this company supplies lots of the plumbing fittings Ive seen on my Bavaria:

I purchased a shower head to replace my own worn unit a few years ago off same seller on eBay and it fitted perfectly, but had to fit threaded male/female adaptors (£3) to the flexible pipes as the original Bavaria threads were a different size, no problems to date.

I need just the head, Guess this may fit?

Looks like you have a better fix than I found. Well done let us all know how you get on.

I replaced the complete tap shower head unit on Rampage with one from B&Q, didn't think of the eBay route.....  It's a standard domestic unit just a bit of a s*d to fit in the limited space.
