And the abridged history of this build......
I saw the pump disassembled in a warehouse about 6 months ago, looked at it and thought Ill have to investigate that later, and promptly forgot about it. I remembered the rusty old pump about a month ago and stopped back and inquired about it to the warehouses owner. He said it was for sale and named his price, I paid him and called my friend with a flatbed wrecker to bring it to my house. I was amazed at how complete it was I assembled it and ran a tap and die thru all the holes and over the studs and decided what flavor I would do it in and chose the Bengal because it was off the beaten path so to speak. I ordered the globe,hose and bonnet from Webers. Once they arrived I fitted them and painted as I went. I bent the conduit myself and ran the wiring to 2 sockets, 1 for the globe and 1 for the cylinder. Aaahh yes the cylinder I was doing this on a budget which didnt include a new repop cylinder so... I figured out how much plexiglas i would need and had the hardware store cut some 1/8 inch flat sheet for me. I then got out my salamander heater and a couple of 5 gal buckets taped end to end, wrapped in an old towel and went to town.
