heres what i did with some old parts i had.since my air water gizmo was missing 6-8 inches and the base,i made it fit on an old stoplight base i had laying around(any body got a door for that 8 sided base?)from what i been seeing here,these came in all kinds of variations.instead of a round upper pole,i took a peice of 3 inch fluted downspout,and put it over the round one to give it a little more style.gonna have a little more energy eff bulbs. nice thing is,i wont need a bucket truck to change the bulbs like brad is gonna need if he restores his to original!LOL mick [This message has been edited by oldnfuelish (edited 01-07-2007).] [This message has been edited by oldnfuelish (edited 01-07-2007).]

Very cool.
I'd think any decent sheetmetal shop could bend a door to fit. Original would be best but fab'd is better than a hole, ya know.

Hey Mick,
I agree, great job! I am almost finished with my Revere, the bonnett has some issues and this is my first attempt at repairing porcelain. Man, is it hard getting a scratch in porcelain for paint or what?
