I love old gas pumps! Just like I love old soda machines!
I like the caster. I bet it makes working on the gas pump much easier.

I wouldnt buy the glass for what the repo companies are selling it for. I went to Lowes and bought all the glass for this Gilbarco pump I just restored for under $10.00. I made my ad glass because it wasnt available aftermarket to Lion  Joey |

did you cut it or did they cut it for you. i have not tried to round any corners on flat glass.i guess i could practice with my small die grinder on some scrap.

Yep, your right, I didn't know the model of it,, most of the bennetts like the 966 1066 and 956 have curved glass. Then for sure you can get your own cut, and I don't even think it needs to have the corners rounded as it has that special gasket for it to sit in,Kinda like a MS80 pump. Here is a SHell pump I recently did.. it was a Tok 300. |

Also http://www.bigcheesepetro.comPersonally, I find Cheese's forum to be more newbie friendly. your experience may vary. Both forums have a wealth of experience There should be framing just about where the ad glass sits the computer (dials and numbers) sits on. It's been a while, but I think it's held by 4 bolts. I plan to get my 766 out of storage in a few weeks I can take pictures, Found it's easier moving it in and out of a basement with the body panels removed, and the computer pulled. |
