I recently picked up this 76 without doors. After I left the lady called and said she had a piece to the pump. I went back and she had this face bezel. I have been trying to figure out how I can put this on the pump. I was wondering if someone could take some pictures of there 76? It would help if I had a front shot of the door and back. The bezel does have 3 clips but looks like it should have 4.

Thanks
Nick

You need to have the lower door on first. I goes behind the corner strips. The top of the lower door has a 90 degree lip at the top. The little twist lever at the bottom of the bezel locks onto the lip of the lower door. The lower door is just flat sheet metal with no holes. easy to make.

That extra piece just saved you $200-$250.

You are lucky to get the bezels. They clip on or with the small screw at the bottom of the face just sit it there with that screw metal piece holding the face on. The sheetmetal is easy because it is just flat.

Thanks for the pictures guys! DB, the measurements really will help out. Do you know how thick of metal should I use?

Start w/ 3" & sand it down till it fits!


Same gauge as side sheet metal.
