Hey guys just started to restore a bennett 371 and from what i can find out it is pretty much the same as a "541".I'm finding very little parts for the 371 but a fair amount for the 541 am i safe in ordering for the 541??
Also can anyone tell me if the doors have a rubber seal on them.Once again found a listing for repacement seals but does not say for the 371.
Thanks in advance for any help

I believe the door latching mechanism would be in the way on your 371. A 541 has an entirely different door locking mechanism that doesn't touch the door seal. I was not planning on using a door seal when I do my 541. A 371 has face pans, a 541 does not, but you should be able to use a 541 face on your 371 and eliminate the face pan. You could probably sell your face pans on this site if you do not use them. Nice looking pumps. Matt Alvarez has many of these pumps, he will know for sure. Brady

Some parts are interchangable and some are not. I have not seen a seal for the door. They do not need one. There is a gutter on the edge of the top to direct the water to the side and small rubber bumpers to keep the door from rubbing the paint.

If you do not use your face pans (if you have them)I could use a set or a single one.
