I think it was the only one for sale, Adrian.
Prior to this one, I had not even seen a photo of one, so I'm very pleased to have it. Certainly is a complex thing. I must ask why the many rings around the cylinder? Are they to prevent damage to the cylinder wall, or some form of heat-sink? Must say, I wouldn't have really expected the latter.

Tony, the rings are purely to prevent damage to the thin cylinder. It is just a transfer pump and doesn't work at too high a pressure.
Not easy to find, well done!

Hi Tony, good pick up, did you also get the two attaching hoses? One is thicker than the other and they are made of flexible steel tubing with screw on ends attached. I was lucky enough to pick up a complete unit last year at Corowa.
regards Rick

No, unfortunately. I am still searching for the hoses.
Can anyone advise how i get the copper/brass bands from the cylinder?

The fluid pump has been disassembled for cleaning.
20170313_171610-resized-1024.jpg Got some bits cleaned up already, 20170313_171636-resized-1024.jpg and a big one yet to be attempted. 20170313_171643-resized-1024.jpg I straightened a few of the vanes that had copped a minor whack over the years. So far, I have been cleaning the parts indoors at night. I don't think I'll try that with the last piece. It's more of a wire brush & turpentine job. The weather is still dreadfully humid, so I've not attempted anything outdoors. 20170311_155815-resized-1024.jpg Also, our boy came home for the weekend, and brought the vehicle he purchased a couple of weeks ago. Wanted something to carry motorcycles and friends. 20170311_154913-resized-1024.jpg This is our old labrador, Caramel, looking studious. You can never have too many labrador photos. If anyone out there has either or both of the pipes that attach the fluid pump, and you wish to sell them, I would like to hear about it. Even if they're not great condition, I might be able to do something with them.

She's just as likely to spy a cat and jump out of the window. Lovely companion, friendly and placid.....but dumb as pig poop.
