Is anyone aware of a source of parts for a type 7A Wakefield Mechanical Lubricator, specifically a new 5" gauge glass?

Dear Joe: I am not sure about the configuration of your Wakefield glass, but take a look at the ERNSTFLOW online catalog. They make a sightglass that will fit a Nathan or Chinese copy of same perfectly. Good luck, J.David

We already checked the Ernstflow catalog, and they don't have any 5" Reflex Gauge Glasses.

As the lubricator was made in England we figure we might have better luck trying to find a gauge glass there. Can anyone suggest and English / British forums for me to post my original inquiry?
