The ID tag probably had very small slotted screws that held it on and the "WAYNE" tag would have had the small pins as oldnfuelish stated. I don't know what they are called either. I have never seen phillips head screws in old pumps with the exception of some of the later version pumps in the 50's and those were limited in use.


Drive with Care and Buy Sinclair!! I buy Sinclair globes, signs, cans, ect.

Keithia, you make a good point about the phillips screw. I talk to a lot of people who restore cars, gas engines,furniture and all kinds of antiques, and remind them that the phillips screw was not invented untill 1937 and certainly could not have been found in anything made before then. I refer to those pins as "spiral rivits" they are used to hold nameplates on electrical gear and motors also. However one little slip when you use them can sure mess up a nice paint job. Norm.

On my Wayne 70 I believed I used slotted 4/40's from the hardware store in town. Quick and simple. : )
