Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Tokheim /850950 skins question

I'm well on my way to finishing up my Tokheim 950 clockface pump as a Texaco. On the lower skins, there are two sets of holes, two toward the top and the other two at the bottom. My first thought is that these were bolted to the main spine of the pump's frame (see one bolt in background of skin-1 picture). What are these holes for or do I have these skins backwards and the panel shown is really the front? If so, what do these holes do or are used for? I thought Tokheim 850 were pretty much the same as the 950.
Also, if anyone is interested, Texaco paint chip red in PPG Concept mixture is PPG#73412.

there is a "clamp" that attaches there. When the skins are in place, the screws are tightened, pulling the clamp tight against the inner side of the base and upper casting, holding that skin half secure and the other half can swing on the hinges.

the clamp is actually a piece of strap steel, about 3/4" wide, angled at one end to match the taper of the inner side of the base and upper casting.
