I'm in process of restoring my 850. I've noticed some have the warning plate included, some not(this is for motor vehicles....). Plus where is the proper spot for it. Some pictures would be appreciated of 850's out there? I'm doing the pump in Red Indian theme. I have purchased a 15 inch lenses from Pogo Gas, it is awesome! Also placement of stickers on skins should both sides have them ????

Thanks Joe

My opinion on vinyl decals is put them on magnetic material. Then you can place anywhere you want or rebrand.

IMO It's your pump put them where you think they look nice. I don't have them on mine because they weren't on there when I got it. I put the Sunoco decal on then cleared over it but not the Tokheim decal as I figured that could be taken off if someone didn't like it.
Just remember that in most cases there were no set standards on where Pump Plates and warning plates went as it was done most times by the station or distributer.

Heres an all original, left just as it was the last day it was ever used and then put away. The individual dealers had a lot of leeway, depending on their area regulations.

Thanks Keith, I'm guessing each service repair guy had his own way of doing his handy work!

Many cities and states regulated where the lead signs should be put.
