A hard one, but looking for the Drainback to Tank casting that goes on a Bowser 81 in any condition
or one that could be duplicated.
Also looking for an 81 parts pump as I need some of the inside mechanics that connect
to the gallon selection knob.

Any help would be great!

If you find one I’ll help finance the casting!! I’ve been looking for one for ten years. But you never know...mine was missing the original aluminum instruction tag on the front and one popped up on eBay last year and I grabbed it. Sometimes we get lucky.

The drainback casting is something so many people are looking for and can't believe it has not been reproduced as it is
such an important cosmetic piece to a Bowser 81, that is is a great collectable pump. If anyone would loan one, I would
offer a large deposit, pay for the use of and get someone like Ron Scobie to reproduce if he was willing. Someone out there could
make a lot of owners of 81's real happy!!

I’ve only ever see one original (the one pictured) and I couldn’t convince the owner to let me use it to recast. Not that I blame him...it’s a beautifully restored pump. But you’re right...would make a lot of collectors, including this one, extremely happy.
