thanks Dick for your reply, I'll try to fiqure out this website and post a couple of pictures.Center trim strip looks to have been cut down so a large sign could be mounted on the door. Going to have to have new ones made up.

thanks Frank that's a beautiful pump, i had seen pictures of this one. I need to know how long the center trim piece is(spear) the ones on my pump were cut down. I'm guessing aroud 28 1/2". Are the top grates made of aluminum? Thanks for your help. Tim.

thanks, would like to get it right. also did these pumps have any electric conduit inside for lighting, mine does not have anything. there are some brackets that look like the would support conduit.

I believe I had to make my own lighting in this one also, I didnt have any original spears to go off of just the hole pattern and wear marks on the one original door, I used 1/2 round bar stock and ground the points to match then drilled and tapped the back to match the original holes with studs...Frank

sorry I missed your post on Jan 30, was wondering if there were any service or repair manuals for the Rheem 36.
