I sent them photos when I initially made inquires as to them being the original manufacturer. Apparently they still have drawing plans so its really a question of them having an economical way to make a modern copy, less the guts. I'm sure they don't have the ability to stamp one out like they did during the war.
Will update this thread and the facebook trailer group when they post back an update. Likely be a week at least since they are looking into things on their end.

Might be a need for a few in Canada
I am going to be starting on my bowser this coming winter, I have filter bodies but no pumps. The Shilo Museum one, last time I saw it, was missing both pumps and filters. I think I know of one or two other guys with bowsers that might jump on a chance to buy these.

Once we know for certain if the company can build the filters and provides a price per unit, it will be posted and we can lock in who whats them. They would only be building the filters as the various types of pumps that were used during the war were made by other companies.

Hand Pumps
Quote:
Attached is a schematic of the unit, if anyone wants to have a go at making some. No dimensions, but if someone can measure the distance between the mounting holes on their tank, the approximate size should be easy to work out. I can't measure the hole centres; the mounting brackets have been torched off my tank!  Owen.
