Re: "Star Brand" Replica Retro Fuel Pump Build.

Today was catch up time.

Loads of little jobs got done.

I started by turning up a bit of Oak to be the base for the Belisha beacon (Google it) in the shed, forgot how much I enjoy working wood.



Trial fit.



Also dismantled my £5.00 petrol pump nozzle.

Polished, and polished......



Trust me, it is a lot better now.



Also made the rest for the nozzle out of a bit of 2 inch square tubing, and fitted, then repainted it, as well as the base, which should look like a bit of ally now.



I had painted the fuel pipe elbow in gold before, but redid it in silver too.



Lastly, I had also undercoated and then top coated the beacon to get it white.

I do like it White vs Yellow.



Next up I need to get a light fitting in there, and fit all the outside bits and decide what to do with the dial.
