| 127 forum posts 19 photos | I have some old (1940's) hand car tyre pumps. I would like to restore them. I remember reading in MEW (or maybe ME) an article about making new buckets for these sort of pumps. I can't find the article! I have searched for air, car, pump, car, leather, automobile, tyre, bucket, stirrup, all to no success. Would anyone know where I can find the this article? |
