Hi. Never sure the spelling of lubester so I put both. I'm looking for the spacer circled in the picture ( if I've attached the picture correctly). Thank you for any responses. John

Now that folks are returning from Carlisle and Hershey I wanted to update my post. The lubester head is an American as identified in Jack's Gas Pump Book. I have the top section as shown in the attached picture. My head does have the pickup pipe attached to the bottom of the pumping unit. This pickup pipe, I believe, slides into the spacer (see first picture where there is a set screw at the top of the spacer). I'm guessing this gives some flexibility as to what gallon size and style the oil tank is. While the lubester pictured in Jack's book is a tripple the picture I found in completed ebay and used as my search picture is a single. It does have, as seen in the first picture, a plate of some odd configuration between the spacer and top of the actual top of the lubester body that if it seperates from the tank portion i would like as well.

As a side note if anyone has this style of lubester and would provide me with its height from the odd configured plate to the top of the spacer I could hopefully make something close. But I'm hoping there's a parts lubester out there. Thank again for looking at my ad.
