Yes please.  Picture please.  Weighing all options before I decide to remove the bathroom sink, but keep the shower.
Thanks

Here's the foto.  Split shackles are sister clips that quickly connect and un-connect. A snap shackle would also work but I didn't have any and they're a little pricey to buy.  I'm just repurposing old sailing hardware that I happened to hang onto when I sold my sailboat.  Hope it helps.

I should also mention that I added a homemade sink made from a stainless steel funnel.  It doesn't take up nearly as much room as the stock sink FR started putting in.  I used the old shower hose holder to fasten the sink drain line to the wall (1" plastic hose).  I added a second shower head bracket that holds the shower head to squirt into the sink.  Now we can wash our hands in the head after taking care of business, instead of where food is prepared.  The metal hoses is well out of the way, snugly up against the wall.

Would you please provide pics of the sink/funnel.  That would be helpful.
Thanks

WoodR. -  Here's the foto.  I got the funnel through an internet restaurant supply after I couldn't find a suitable small sink.  The drain is just stuff from the HD.  The wood slats on the floor are from Cost+World Market; a wood shower mat that I cut to fit.  The little clip that holds the hose at the bottom is the old shower hose holder for the wall.  The sink doesn't interfere with the use of the shower or the head, but the bad thing is the drain empties onto the floor.  I didn't want to have to mess with the plumbing under the shower pan as it's horribly inaccessible, but with the wood mat it doesn't make any difference that the drain empties onto the floor.
