I used a recessed LCD light from Lowe's for the inside cabinet light.
You can also see how the glass shelf tracks are located.
Both the globe and cabinet light are wired together and controlled by a switch on the side of the pump.
Front and rear stainless trim pieces were soda blasted and polished with new hardware ready to be bolted back into place.
An outside frame work was made to support the red Oak floor. Here reassembly is taking place.
Right Side-the reset handle simply spins. Notice the small light switch above.
Here you see the left side. The original handle retainment is polished and reused. I made a thin stainless plate to work at a washer for the attachment screws and a machined slot to keep the spout in position. I made a handle holder to replicate the original that did not protrude into the inside wall. This piece was primed and painted black. Also a reproduction hose block was purchased as the original was not present. Due to where I wanted to place this in my shop I reversed the side of the pump to have the hose on the left.
I had a glass company cut the door glass. It is secured using simple shower door hardware with a spring loaded magnetic lock allowing access into the cabinet.
Here is the finished product.
This was a great project that most anyone could do. It took some welding, bodywork and painting. The new front and rear panels were outsourced from a sheet metal shop. Total cost was about $800. I got the idea from one of the fiberglass replicas I had seen on the internet. They sell for around $2800!
I think it is cool to take something old and thrown away and give it new life.
Cheers!
