Julian,

I've found a tam terminal box and lid, but do you still want the pump body? as that is in the shed up the field.
If just the box/lid is ok I will post tomorrow if you PM me ya address.

The box has a screw hole broken but the broken bit is still there, if I can find some glue I'll glue it back on.

That's great, Chug.  I'll have a bash at working from just the plastic bits and hope I get it right, don't worry about sticking them together.  I'll pm you my address.

I can copy the cover off my Leo.

Julianf, if you think there will be a demand for a JGS cover, I'll happily draft that.

Tony if you let me know what vane pump it is I'll check to see if I have the same ... I've got a couple.  If not send me your cover and I'll do that too.

All assuming I can get the printer back into operation!

Ok, Chug has very kindly sent me a TAM105 terminal box (both halves).

It's broken at the points where it bolts to the motor body, so I'll beef up these areas.  As I don't have the rest of the pump/motor can someone advise if the rectangular hole to the motor needs to be as big as it is and if thickening the base and 4 bolt pillars would interfere with anything in the box?

Has anyone got any other suggestions to modify or improve the design before I make a start?

Four hour print last night produced a new cover for Frankinpump (My TAM 120) ...








I have to say the original design was poor and it's little wonder they break.  The pillar through which the screw passes is a few millimeters clear of the motor body and very lightly attached to the rest of the box, so tightening the screw tries to tear the pillar from the box.

pictures are a no show for me???
