Vintage Brass Hand Water Pump

[NauticalKiwi]

Greetings,

Does anyone know who can restore this old water pump or alternatively I need a 70mm rubber valve.

This is the internal fitting & as you can see the rubber valve is worn.

??? Can't see any rubber valve.

Are we talking washers and O rings here?

You can make a flat rubber washer from a flat sheet.

But Traditionally they are leather washer, leather flap valve.

3 or 4 mm leather will be suitable.

The outlet tap needs to be warmer and air tight, or it will not prime.

Guessing it is imperial size.

Do you have the mounting clamps?

No dont do that; what a waste, stick it on some charred pallet wood and attach an 'Edison' light bulb then sell it to urbane hipsters as a steam punk lamp

Post a picture of the valve, I will have a look in my pile of bits when I am at home.
