Our Rotherham Pump replica is a non-functional look-alike of the wind-driven pumps used to pressurize the fuel systems of many WW1 aircraft. While it does not actually provide any pressurization, it certainly looks the part, with accurate dimensions and a free-spinning propeller! We also plan to offer mounting brackets in the future.

Features:

• "Castings" (Pump Body, Cylinder Heads) are made from laser-sintered PA12 Nylon, the same material used in many firearm frames and even automotive parts such as intake manifolds. It's tough stuff!

• Cylinders are made from real brass and aluminum tube stock.

• Oil reminder placards are cast brass with raised text

• Propeller shaft is stainless steel, and rides on a sealed ball bearing at one end, and an Olite (bronze) bearing at the other

• The propellers are hand carved from solid hardwood. They are finished off with a coat of spar polyurethane for weather and UV resistance. All propellers are carefully balanced on a magnetic balancer to minimize vibration

• Propellers are secured to shaft with a pinned castle-nut for retention and safety

• 3D printed parts are finished off in appropriately colored paint to mimic cast aluminum and brass, and a UV-resistant clear coat is applied for longevity of the finish

• Weight of each unit is approximately 1.0lb (455g)
