The next step was to make sure the holes were in the right place. I made a pattern out of an old folder, then traced it on the new ears. After that it was time to use some body putty to make everything look as it should. Last a shot of primer. Can you guess which is the original ear? Top left side. I never throw anything away. Even if I didn't restore it, someone might have needed the original ear for their pump. I could always cut off the portion they needed and then they could weld it to their base. Richard
