restoring an A.O. smith "smithway" L-1 pump and need 1 face plate. any leads???? thanks, Chuck

I have a box full of face plates, do you have a picture of the other side

KZ, i'll post a picture tomorrow of the faceplate i have. thanks, Chuck. but, it's small with two circular cutouts (for the light bulbs) in each of the upper R/L corners.

here's a picture of an L1 face plate. these are really nice pumps!

yup, that's the faceplate i need. they are really cool pumps. i have one now that i wanted to do an Indian (motorcycles) pump for my garage (i have an Indian), but a client bought it and i'm doing it in Pure firebird. what is your pump done in? post a picture! Chuck

i know the years of the pump and the years of the globe probably don't match up, but i thought they looked good together.

That's a Good Lookin' Pump..

oh man, that's awesome! i'm starting that pump right now. is the front door hingle chromed? and yours has a globe holder, mine is ressesed into the top. what did you put on the two faceplate upper and lower pieces of medal? it's hard to see from here. can you post a closeup of the whole window? also, did you use the old window rubber gasket? mine is intact and can be used again, but if i can get a new set, i would. my pump is still wroking so i';m gonna wire it to turn on when you flip the handle lever! cna't wait. sux, it's already sold! if i ever get another, i'm keepin this pump. it's a basic, small pump, but alot of character. was your ID badge still on it. mine is and it's perfect!

sorry chuck, I do not have one of those, good luck, Rick

Thanks Rick for checking, Chuck

gents, still hunting an L-1 faceplate...any help?????
