They appear to be Intairco as indicated. But I can't find anyone who carries the rubber band. It is apparently an old design. Dreamworks has it pictured on one site I went through, but the picture...

That looks a lot like some Robart hinges I used in a project a few years ago. I think I ordered from Dreamworks or maybe directly from Robart.

P-60 fuel pump

Where is the best place to obtain a fuel pump for a P-60. On reinstalling mine I discovered one of the electrical leads was broken off at the body. It appears to be a brushed motor.

Is there a way to check the glow plug on a P - 60? A test glo plug menu on the GSU?
I'm sure there has to be a way, just haven't figured it out, so I thought I'd ask.
