Hi guys - long time to show -

I am working on a Hayes Square Visible pump that will be going to a auto museum and I can not find any photos of how the conduit was run and bent originally, can any of you post photos of yours so I can see how it was run please.

Mine went up the center of the pump inside the aluminum large tube.

Mine did the same as Craig's through the center pipe.


Thanks, Phil

Well darn, that's not how mine is at all. Mine is set up for conduit going outside the cylinder.

I am thinking the closest thing I am going to find for where it comes out from below the cylinder is a 1/2 inch conduit explosion proof body -

Here are more photos as to what exactly I am asking about, one is from Jacks book, the other is the original drawing, and the third is my pump how I was going to do it until seeing it was not correct:

As I look at it now, unless I can get a photo of an original set up here - it looks like I need to take the explosion proof body - grind off the screw in end, plug and weld it, then drill and tap a hole in the top cover - make sense? Thoughts?

Yes, see that now. Had one of those and I think the end of that little box came off. Two small screws. Tough to find one laying around though. Hopefully someone here has a picture of their restored one.
