I should mention I tried making a washer from building up o rings but it just pulled the fuel back out the top of the pump on the up stroke without pressurising the actual tank….

Thanks Chris, you’re a star !! (applause)

I may have got slightly carried away!! The centre catch has a loop for padlock!

It came with various spares, filler funnel etc which I want to keep all together.

Not sure I’ll be able to pick it up on my own when I’ve finished though! I may need to fit it with wheels!!!

very nice well done

thanks for all your hot tips and advise. the trouble with me and computers is that I only use them because I have to,and without them I could not persue this great hobby. I have taken the soft option over my poor knowledge of computers and downloaded another picture.

ive picked up the parts from the shot blasters and dropped off the wheels.
spent saturday afternoon and today sanding down the parts ready for primer, most of the afternoon was spent on the gearbox as it has to all be done by hand.

Im getting wheels blasted tomorrow and gonna be painting them white, The chassis is solid, wheels are good, rear mud gaurd is solid, foot plates are good, the only things that are quite bad are what id call the dash tower (1st picture) and the bonnet so i am on the look out for these items but im going to continue with everything else in the mean time.

Started to put together a storage chest for the government issue sprayer plus parts based roughly on the one Spayerman has. Bear in mind I am not a carpenter!! I still have work to do on the interior.
