Technical Made a fuel tank pressure pump.

Pre war hand pumps are pretty hard to come by here, an old sprayer that had been lurking unused it the shed for many years, yielded the makings.
I had intended to use the tank for the petrol tank but that didn't work out.

Edit: The tank did end up in the racer as a petrol tank.

Hopefully the pics are self explanatory.

 

nice pix, well done.

 

Excellent , have not seen anybody use a metal shaper in a long time love the boring bar too. Would like to see more small projects like this on the H.A.M.B.

 

Impressive.

 

Thanks Oldmtech, owning a shaper is like having a plug in steam engine in your shed, everyone should have one.

This is mine playing a foot tapping tune...

 

I was surprised to see a shaper also, cool! and cool pump also.

 

Thanks, shapers are cheap, tooling even cheaper, who needs a mill, not me!

 

You’ve got rhythm!
Love your build just saw it for the first time
I will need to make a pump also but mine will be for aesthetic purposes only got a long way to go before that

 

Very well done!

 

The next guy is in for a surprise when he goes to buy parts. You made them all!

 

All you need is a little piano boogie.... It started to sound like an old Led Zeppelin song...

 

That's great. Gee, you don't see shapers very much anymore.

 

Very nice!

 

Wow. I wasn't even aware there was such a thing as a shaper. Thank you for educating me. The pump is perfect.

 

Ok, kudos to who ever names the make and model of my other car. Clue, gotta watch the shaper vid.

 

Mighty fine looking pump! Great to hear the sound of a shaper again! I think the last time that I watcher and heard one was in the sixties at the sawmill machine shop1 Great machine!

 

Very nice, the way that pump 'shaped-up'!
I'd love to find an old used shaper...(I'm a 'tool-hoarder'...Maybe I can start a support group, "Tool Hoarders anonymous?" Have to find a center big enough for a meeting...)

 

You, sir, are a true craftsman. I am in awe
