I am thinking of changing my SSE model 176 computer pump over to a clockface pump. I think it is the same pump as the USA Bennett clockface. I need the clock, both face plates and whatever else is needed to make it a correct clockface pump. Maybe Jack Sim could help me here ? Or anyone else...

No parts, but I believe I do have literature as to what clock mechanism was used in this pump (Pittsburgh, Keystone, etc.)
Bennett used may different clock mechanisms.
The literature also shows what face was used on the 176.

Jack , I have your gas pump and air meter books,,, great books by the way,, Do you have any idea where I might find the parts to make this conversion ? I think it would be a more desireable pump as a clockface..

well it was born a Supertest pump , this is the way it was bought,,someone brushed some blue paint on it for whatever reason, but the Supertest orange and the ad glass was still in it..no globe, that is an original Supertest Ethyl globe on it now,, including the glass body..
