I am thinking on restoring this Bennett 76 in either Sinclair HC green and white or Sinclair Ethyl red and white. Anyone have pictures of one of these done in either scheme and how would the stainless inserts look in the corners on either one of the paint jobs?? Corners would either be green or red.

No one. OK how about any restored or nice original Bennett 76's. I am maybe thinking all silver Sinclair Ethyl also.

I think this top would look better than the 4 adv top!

Nothing wrong with the two ad glass top but I personally like the 4 better. Don't see as many either. Nice job on the repair.

Here are my 76s. One restored and one unrestored. Both have the stainless on the corners.

Matt great looking pumps as usual. Yep one 76 and one 77 but close enough for me.

They are both 76s. The Mobil is an early one with visi gauge. The Hancock is the more common 76 with sight glass. A Bennett 77 is a clock face model and also came with a visi gauge and sight glass.
