!973 Racor 1000 f

I need to replace the bowls on my I think original Racors. I have two new bowls for the 1000 series but they are too large compared to the old ones in diameter. From what I can see from the internet the bowls from the 500 series may be the proper size. Has any one else had to replace bowls of this vintage, what parts fit or did you just install whole new units.

Thanks

Your originals may not be 1000s. Could be 900s. Post a pic and look for a label on the units. Racor 500's would be very small for anything other than a generator or sail boat engine.
