I recently picked up on original M & S 80 tall top that is solid (same height as script top) . Does not have script cut out or hole for sight glass. Has anyone picked up one of these in the past, and is it possible to have lettering cut out for script top? If so, any recommendations on the best process. Thanks,

A 3D laser cutting machine would do a great job. But you would need an original to digitize/scan first to make the cad file in order to program the machine. Wouldn't be cheap.

I've made ad glass tops out of the solid high tops. It is not easy and requires studs welded inside to hold in your advertisement. In my case, I made plexi-glass GULF ad glasses. They flexed inside the top when studs were tightened. Certainly not for the challenged. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Update on my M & S 80 Blank Top. Thanks to Husky Bob for allowing me to borrow his top as a pattern. Was able to locate a 3D laser cutter. Photos of before, after and comparison to original.
