Obviously, the visible is different because of the handle. Has anyone ever removed the pump and fabricated something just up hold the handle? Just curious.

Quite unstable to even try to move. I refused to buy any when the pumps were not inside. My opinion from years of restoration experience. Paul Last edited by gasmansgp; Sun May 31 2026 06:24 AM.

Paul removed guts and jeri-rigged the handle in for looks years ago, this pump is extremely top heavy - have it secured at the top with a cable, you wouldn't want to move this pump without taking the bonnet off as that is where all the weight is - if you haven't got this far yet listen to Dave & Pauls advice .. ...
