I'm restoring a Bennett 646 non-computing pump and would like to convert it to a computing pump. Is there someone on here that can help with the Veeder Root update? Thanks

Just swap the whole veeder root out for a computing one & get faceplates.

The one I have is in really good shape so I’d prefer to add in the additional wheels/parts to complete the upgrade.

I have not seen a non-computer, but I don't think just adding additional parts is a practical option unless you want it to be just a static display. There are many, many moving parts in these, and the odds of finding what you need to just add it to what's there already are slim. As others have said, the best option would be to find a complete VR and change the faces on the pump. Here's some pictures of what's involved in a computer.
