Well, it is looking more and more like we are going to have to put a globe on this pump instead of the milk glass top. I have a picture (see attached) of the two rectangular sheet metal filler pieces that go around the globe ring, but I don't know the sizes of them. If anyone has a pump with the sheet metal on it, can you please make me a pattern by tracing one of the pieces? As always, thanks for your help.

I could use a pattern as well. I have the metal top and the globe bracket, but no flat sheetmetal on the metal top.

Chris, BadGas:

Shoot me your addresses and I'll put some patterns in the mail to you.

That goes for anybody else that needs one.

I'll do the tracing tomorrow so the patterns/xerox's can go out as early as Friday.

Later . . .

Okay guys - I decided to do a scan and create a detail drawing for everybody to use.

Hopefully this will work.

You should be able to 'Right-Click' on the image, select 'Save Picture As' and download it to your computer.



Print it out at 100% and you're ready to go. Dimensions are correct to the one I have - but you might want to mark your blank for the EXACT hole spacing on your top. My piece is drilled for two (2) different hole spacings on the front/back sides. I don't know if this is standard - or if something changed over the years and this will fit multiple vintages.

Later . . .

Nice job, Jim! That will work just fine for us. We'll start making them tomorrow.
Chris

Yes. Thank you!
