I have the 4 sections that make up the base walls(all new repo) and looking them over looking at my pump and pics on the net. I see the covers are not ment to go on the same.
On my pump all panels fit on the Inside of top and bottom rings
The repo parts the extension s fit on inside and the doors (one with hole one without) fit on the outside of the ring
Have any of you used these parts with your original top/ bottom rings?
How was the fit?
Gap between doors and extensions?
I have not looked Inside mine yet. But are the extensions and doors. 2 different heights?

you still need the base and top of the base then it should work they are different heights

The doors should fit on the outside of the top and bottom rings

Yes the repo doors are made that way. The originals fit inside
I just can not see how there is not a big air gap from the repo doors and the extensions

Yes as does mine. But that's not what I was wanting to know/see

Of all the pumps I've seen, none of the panels have fit perfectly. There has always been air gaps unless a body man has tweeked them to "show condition"....
