I need some help with the restoration of my tokheim 870a pump that I've had in storage since 1990 after I dug it out of my grandfathers old Derby oil's bulk plant. This is the condition I found it in, there is alot missing I know but it has sentimental value and its a clock face so I cant just toss it aside. What Im needing help with is mainly the skins, does anybody have a set that could get me dimensions and photos of what they look like taken apart? Ive toyed with the idea of custom making some since I work in a hot rod fabrication shop, it shouldn't be to hard given they are square bodied but I also know they are tapered. Gas Pump Heaven has a set of reproduction skins for an 870 which are only two piece, I wonder if they can be cut in half and made to work. The top is another story, Ive been looking for awhile now and have come up empty. Any help you guys can give me is much appreciated.
