Hi. I'm putting the finishing touches on a Wayne 851 pump restoration. I was thinking about using a Gulf 12-1/2" wide body globe on top.
Now, I'm wondering if this 12-1/2" globe might appear too small, in proportion with the Wayne 851. Any comments from the group....or thoughts on the 12-1/2" Gulf globe not being the right time period to go with the Wayne 851. Thanks for any input. John in Wisconsin

John I think it would look fine. But also it is your pump if you like it & are happy with it go for it

WHAT is a Wayne 815?? Do you mean 851?? or maybe 615?? That globe would look OK on an 851 but I think it would be too small for a 615 visible. I think you need bigger globes on the visibles because of the bulk of the pump and the distance up to the top. The 851, on the other hand is a much smaller bodied pump and sits closer to eye level and doesn't need the balance that a big globe would give! Hope this helps, but above all, do as Brad said and put whatever pleases you up there!!

Thanks for your thoughts, Brad and Kevin.
Kevin, my fingers and brain weren't making the best contact, when I typed my original post. Indeed, I am working on a Wayne 851...just kept getting the "1" and the "5" reversed.
Again, I appreciate the thoughtful comments, guys. Best, John

The only thought I have is "Where's the picture?". The GULF 12 1/2" will look perfect and if you are happy that's what it's all about. We'll just be happy with a picture. Mike
