I need 3 face pans--one for me and 2 for my buddy mattthe gasman. I also need a couple of original globe holders and sure could use the sheet metal piece the globe holder bolts to! I could also use a few ad glass clips! Thanks--KEVIN

Does anyone make these clips? If not why? Seems easy enough and people seem to be looking for them lots of times.

Make your own clips out of Steel Banding Straps like used to band lumber. Cut to size & bend slightly.

I thought I might have some extras, WRONG. I have 8 36B pumps at storage yard, 4 are DP's [2 are the Twin] & I am missing 3 face backer pans for VR's.

db--Thanks for taking the time to look! It seems like 36B face pans would be a hot ticket if anyone could find some! LOL

if you run 101 rubber around the add glass you don't need the clips ..holds it better and the glass won't rattle when you move the pump around..

The face pans could be copied and made at any good sheet metal shop. You could make extras and sell them in the for sale section. Rob

Its just nice having it all original but re making the face pans is a good idea. Someone should grab the idea and run with it! Anyone?

Go for it Kevin! As others have found out that after you spend 100's of $$$ having them made, you have to discount them below cost to sell. Less expensive to make w/o totalizer shutter, but knowing you, you wouldn't go that route.
I have noticed that the REPOP DP visi Bezels are not the same as originals & sell for $22-25ea.
