WOWSER of a Bowser, Tony!
Check out this link to Ron Scobie's parts under Bowser 565. I got mine from him for my 565. You won't be disappointed.

Does anyone have a picture you can post of Ron Scobie's 565 Face plates? I might need a set also.
Thanks

Thank you for the response, i will contact them and let you know what happens, can you spot anything else that is not correct? (Its a genuine question, not a trick) Just want it perfect. I dont know much about it and would appreciate any info you have, are they a rare pump?
Thank you

Tony,
I can't tell from the pic for sure but it looks like your pump is missing the reset handle and the removable/ locking door on that left side.
If I had your email address, I could email you pics of my face plates.
Good Luck!

Hi Tony,
I use Ron Scobie for most of my pump parts, he has been very helpful in sorting out parts on my British pumps.

Just a note British Bowsers tend not to have a sight in the faces, they mostly have a visigauge mounted on the outlet pipe, this seems to apply to G&B's and Wayne's also.

Thanks Gary
I have been in touch with Ron, and as you say he's a great guy. I have been working on other stuff and had no time to do my own pump, as i work away and don't get time to do anything. Last weekend was the first one off this year!!! I ended up finishing a M & S 80 and then delivering to Norwich, got back home at 5pm and a guy wanted to see my soda machine collection.

Thanks Tony.

Tony,
Is there a sight glass/spinner behind the face plate that you presently have on your pump?
If there is a sight glass, you will need a face plate with a cut out.
I emailed you pics of mine in 2 separate emails.
Yes, there is a hole in the removable door near the top for the reset handle and a hole at the bottom for a lock.
Hope this helps.
Rod
