Hey everybody,

I was wondering if anybody out there had a pic of an National Apex 902. I need pic of original skins, mine doesnt have skins and neeed to get some made. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Easy G. Butler

The brochure I have shown at: http://www.petrolianacollectibles.com/national%2090-902.htm
does show dimensions of the twin base and gives measurement, but it does not show how the skins go together. Don't know if it will help.

Thanks Jack,

Thanks for the info, but from the pic in your book, cant tell much for detail, I was needing to know if the corners had 2 45 degree breaks just like the single, or if the corners were rounded and followed the pattern of the casting. Then I need to know if there was a verticle break downd the center or if it was just staight from one corner to the next. The casting indicates a possible verticle break down the middle. I wont be able to put the 3 horizontal breaks accross the pump but thats ok.

Thanks in advance.

I made new skins for mine just like the single, with the seam on the sides and a v broke in the middle just like the casting, I need to finish them ,I have not rolled the upper. lower and middle beads yet. They will be just like the single, from what I have found that is how they should be, good luck...Frank

Hello Frank,


Thanks for the pic, I do have a question though...How are you going to roll the 3 beads into the skins after you already broke them. Also wont rolling the beads into thes sking going to shorten the skins consideralbly? (I dont work with metal that much to know though)

Thanks again for the pic, you have been a big big big help!!
