I bought a pair of the silver faceplates from Ron a couple of years ago. Very nice.

Thanks to the people here, I have also now ordered a set of these silver Faceplates from Ron!
Do you have a pic of the pump with them installed?

Nice rustoration Matt! You made a tall pump just that much taller! What is the total height of your pump now? Must be taller than any visible type gas pump?

You will notice at the bottom of your tin plate, that there is a line running across the front---well, there is a small tin piece missing there, and I think it was only for the purpose of closing up the gap and helping reflect the lighting.
There is a trim ring that goes around the sight glass, and can be purchased and installed on the porcelain plate if you desire?

I have the trim piece that attaches to the bottom, just not in photo.

No, since I knew I would need another silver face plate, I have decided to order a set. I will be using the original trim ring on one of the new ones and have ordered one repro trim ring. I can copy the lettering from the original trim ring to the new one also.
