Delta 1 has plastic drain assemblies to avoid metal drain corrosion. Although, I put metal drains in my sink and they have never corroded. They've been in there for 20 years. There are numerous darkroom construction books (Amazon) that tell how to construct a sink. It is as easy as gluing and screwing it together, installing the drains, and painting it with several coats (sanded in between) of marine epoxy. Build a frame/stand from 2x4's, set it on the frame and screw the whole thing to the wall. Install plumbing, and you are ready. A good Leedal 8' sink is around $2000. Go to http://www.calumetphoto.com/ and search for "sink". Delta One sinks are cheaper, but none that long.
