I've always been lucky enough to be able to re-use the old brass rivets, but now I have a pump that someone has already removed the signs from the pump. I've seen some people use modern rivets, but i'd rather have the original style. I found a Fry Mae West 117! Now I need orig. parts! Base doors, cyl. rods, skin & base bolts, reg. fingers, conduit pipe, light arms & shades, & more

Check w/ an Electrical Motor Repair shop [that's where I found them for re-attaching the info ID plates].
