Good evening all
I’ve finally got paint on my apron, #7158 from 1939. Not going to win any awards, but that’s not the point. I will post photos once it is back together.
But to get to that point, I need to remedy the Bijur pump situation. It is working, I tested it before disassembly, But before assembly I need to repair the filter housing. It must have had condensation water in the sump casting and the bottom of the steel housing rotted away. You can see in the attached photos.
Does anyone have any clever ideas, how to repair the housing? I have a perfect brass scrap, and could turn something, but if there’s a better way I’m all ears!
And another thing... does anyone know what order the filter screens should be installed?
Thanks folks
I greatly appreciate the dedication of the members of this site
