A friend is restoring a Bowser 300 crank gas pump. His base was broken, and he did not have any of the pieces that were missing. The crank style base is different than the standard electric one. He acquired a base for a electric one and was able to modify his legs of the pump so it would work. I told him not to scrap the other base that I would play with it and see if I could fix it. What would you do?.
