I am working on a project for an Erie pump that is setup with two hoses and one clock unit.
I have not seen the pump so I don't know if the plumbing is there for dual product.
In order to make a dual clock out of a single, this is what I did.......First I made an extension for the NON-RESET side.

Left hand threads.. #5-44 the threaded stud is locktighted into the coupling.

Then removed the connecting rod between the two units, and added springs and washers behind the connecting rod adjusters for tension.

Removing the connecting rod will allow each side to register ( count) independantly.


After mounting the front hands to the nuts with solder & painting & mounted to shaft,
then the extension goes on to lock the hand nut.
A broken centershaft can be repaired this way

All of this could be acheived by inserting a reset side mech into the non reset side mech hole....but if you do not have another reset side mech .........Also the unit should have 2 clockwise faces....but the non reset side turns c-clockwise so if it is done this way, clockwise and c- clockwise faces will be needed.

From the factory, wether it is a single or dual product single body pump it would have dual measuring with a face above each unit.
I have the Aqua System E203-470 [pg 43 bottom center]. Mine is a single product dual dispenser.

I thought I had clarified that point, but DB, you are Right..... two meters, two clockwise, resetting sides of a TRIDENT is what should be in this single or dual. But you never know what was done to the pump after it left the factory..I have not seen the internals of this pump, but this is as close as I can get to a dual clock with limited access to parts....unless you want to donate a clock half DB.????????
I did post for Trident parts before I started....besides I am a little familiar w/ pumps since I was a pump mechanic for 14 yrs. Clock units and parts are very hard to come by....why else would someone come up with a working reproduction clock?....they look/ work better than a big hole in the top of your clockface pump...
kinda like a Shelby w/ NO HEADLIGHTS & Grill
This one is NOT exactly correct....but it is as close as it can get with what I started with.

I can clearly see the amount of effort and talent that went into making that thing work. Awesome job!!! Thanks for sharing your work.
