BENNETT Update Along With More PUMP Questions! - Wed Nov 07 2007 08:32 PM
Were excited. Its looking good! Have pretty much stripped it down, gutted and cleaned it out. A few other pipes and or maybe some wiring etc and its done as far as that part goes. Have taken off the rust free doors, removed all the dents or whatever, including prep them for the new glass, rubbers and trim. Removed the two extra hose extensions. Replaced the gas hose recoil cable. Installed new key locks in both doors. Cleaned up most of the other stainless and trim pieces.
Also have a Texaco star globe and special mount adapter for the top. Plus some unique cosmetically aged signage for the doors etc. Think its begining to look cool!
Now its onto glass, rubber and trim pieces. New keys for the door locks. The reset lever system mechanics. Want to replace all the millions of old frozen panel nuts and bolts too. Plus sort out all that electrical wiring etc, which brings us to the following problem child:
The original door window lights in my 1066 seem to use an approximently 11" [doesnt appear to be either 10 or 12] elongated round tube style bulb with double contacts on each end. So todays questions for anyone offering to help are ...Is that all that holds the bulb in? ...Are they still available? ...Does anyone know where to get them or have a cost guesstimate?
The next major concern will most likely be with the... reset mechanics!
Were presently looking for casters too, that will fit under the base mount helping one to easily move the pump or roll it into the garage for safe keeping. Also want to Marvel mystery oil it when done to make it look real pretty and protect it from the elements. Plust in the end, it would be a real dream come true to have it function as if it was an actual working pump!
For those inquiring minds, curious about what we still need for our... Bennett 1066 gas pump.
These are the various items, still required:
- door, 3 1/2" round, plain white or Texaco ad glass inserts [2]
- 3" texaco star decals [2]
- #??? [approx 11"]light bulbs for face display illumination fittings [2]
- curved door glass [original would be nice... approx 9 7/8 x 15 5/8]to cover faces etc [both sides]
- #103 rubber surround for glass inserts that will accept the stainless trim pieces [9']
- complete set of stainless trim that fits over the #103 rubber... preferably with the neccessary mounting clips etc [both sides]
- ? hose guard bars [2]
...additions
- left side small rain gutter piece [1 only]
- lower face plate, holding bracket [1 only]
Would like to know what of the above you may have available with prices please, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!
