Hey Bill, try here

For what it's worth, I used marmoleum flooring contact cemented to a piece of 5x5 baltic birch. I also put a piece of laminent flooring padding underneath the whole deal.

I need a little help. I'm a bit confused how the water in the tank makes it up to the pump on a 66-67 so42 fresh water tank. I see there is a vinyl hose that goes from the top of the tank to the pump. At the tank top their is a 90* fitting and this is where I get off track. Is the tank pressurized forcing water to leap all the way up to this fitting? Or is there a hose that connects to the 90* fitting that sits down inside the tank?

That 90 degree ell barb is supposed to have a pick-up want that extends to the bottom of the tank.

^^^ not to nitpick but for $670 USD you would figure that the "repro" westy cabinet could at least get the ice box door latch in the right spot. Also looks like it is missing all of the "guts" of the ice box meaning you are buying not much more than a nice and expensive box that has no functionality. Can never figure when some companies set out to make a repro they are so lazy on the details

Thanks for the help BarryL!!

So I found my the pick up hose in the tank and received delivery of a new tank from Inca plastic and I have only one final piece needed to finish the icebox, the filler cap and pipe it screw too. If anyone has a source for reproduction or has an OG one they would part with please PM me!!

What style fill cap do you have and what is the outer diameter of the tank "in"?

The "out" is normally 3/8" NPT nipple 4-6" with a straight-through angle stop(threaded on after lowering into position), although I've seen a lot of variations as they either get knocked off or broken.

I don't know what the remade Inca's are like.

Ok, the "out" is 1/2" NPT nipple on those.

Although not correct you could use this http://www.perko.com/catalog/fills_and_vents/461/fuel_&_water_fills_for_1-1_2_hose/ and heat with boiling water clear vinyl 1 1/4" hose to stretch over the 1 1/2" fill. You might even get lucky and the necks will slip mate to each other.
