Connecting an Old Soapstone Sink to Drain Pipe

[fishfood]

Hi - I am trying to connect an old Soapstone sink back to the drain pipe. It was previously connected with a 1.5 inch diameter lead pipe which I removed.

I now have a 1.5" brass drain from the sink which I would like to connect to a 1.5" Drain Trap (not sure what it's made of). I can run PVC from the 1.5" brass drain, but I'm not sure how I would be able to connect the PVC male to the 1.5" Drain Trap female.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I recently purchased this home and am new to DIY plumbing.

remove all of the lead to the connection to the main drain and replace with pvc

Thank you frodo and Geofd for the replies.

Any recommendations on how I could remove the lead in the joint? I saw this video on using a blow torch to melt the lead.

@frodo, is this the 2" rubber gasket that you were referring to? 2" rubber gasket

I've also attached a couple additional pictures of where the p-trap connects to the hub.

hard to tell sizes from a picture. it looks like a 2'' hub from over here
a 1.5 coupling will fit nicely min a 2'' rubber

blow torch not needed. . you can dig the lead out using a hammer and large screwdriver
it takes work and patience,
