      The new machine is a 1997 model it is by far worse for ware than the other one but it looks like they changed the bolt that are giving me troble to shorter ones in this new model. Also the pump looks to be in good condition its a procon(yay) and its manufacture date is 07/03 so it is a bit newer than the machine. Just a question what type of lubricant do you use on these pumps?

        Mmmm sounds a great purchase there Segrave...

        Just a question what type of lubricant do you use on these pumps?
        Ive never used any myself.... and as far as I know thats how it is supposed to be (for the pump - not the motor).

            Hi,
            I have a Futura single group (re-badged Brugnetti) that I am doing a resto on. The only way I could remove those screws was to soak them in penetrant and then use an impact driver, carefully, as the largest size I had was still too small.
            The brass plugs are just to blank off unused holes in the group, mine has the water inlet on the left side as you face the machine, the top hole isnt drilled as on your machine.

              Did you use a 8mm flat Screwdriver bit in your impact driver or bigger?

                Also how old was your machine when you removed the screws and did it look like thay had been removed before?

                  The bit I have is 10mm (just measured) the screws showed no signs of having been out before. I do not know the age of the machine, the build plate only has a serial and the voltage on it, I am guessing that it is early eighties because.
                  mine had the same sludge/ corrosion at the grouphead boiler connection.

                            I have run into my first real problem the 4 bolts coming off the boiler-cap holding the element in place have all corroded very badly and sheard when i went to get them off. Anyone know anywhere i could start to look for a new boiler cap(i doubt i will find one i will prob have to weld on some new ones once i clean it all up) pics to follow

                              Gday again Segrave,

                              I dont know that you would need to get a replacement end-plate for your boiler, if you can remove the whole end-plate from the boiler ok then the heater element plate should be able to be repaired fairly easily by someone with suitable welding equipment as you mention and it would be as good as new. Just a small obstacle mate, nothing to sweat about

                              Mal.

                                Thats too bad, Seagrave....the studs didnt look all that flash in your photos. Perhaps better now than an explosive leak later while under pressure.

                                Pedro at Coffeeparts might have ideas, though only the element and gasket is listed on his site.

                                If you go down the probably inevidable welding path, youll have to ensure the new studs line up with the gasket holes.

                                Good luck
