    Hello all, here is my R55 Heater Lamp it is missing the wire guard, cracked fuel gauges but still works and has a fair bit of damage to the reflector otherwise works well.
    This will be my shed heater from now one and she will stay as is.
    Here are some photos thanks.

    Thanks for posting this.

    That is an unusual looking pump?

    Can you please show some detail of the components?

    Cheers

    Sure I can, here you go does this help? Also this type of pump can be screwed in to lock the handle in place.
    Look at photo three you will notice the thread.

    Thanks.

    I've not seen that style of Tilley pump before.


    Cheers

    Looks to be a goer and will do the job in the shed. As commented, a unusual looking handle.
