I have a NOS curved porcelain pump plate I was getting ready to put on a G&B T-176 visible pump. The curve or radius of this plate is a little 'tight' when I hold it on to this pump. The plate has to flatten out some to fit correctly.

My question is, does it hurt the porcelain finish to flex these signs? Will the porcelain crack? Were the signs bent or formed for specific pumps or were they all kind of universal when they were made???

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I sure hate to damage this pump plate.......Thanks.

Had the same problem on my 850 . different rounded skin pumps are different in sizes, if your pump tapers you can use the sign maybe in a different location. but if its straight no go. good luck.
