Help with ID on Typhoon part

Brake relays in good condition?

I suppose it depends where it comes from, i would say mine was good considering it was in a crash.

but not sure how it would of looked like new and what has broken off etc.

I should be able to get a new brake relay, won’t be quick though…!

PM if interested.

Neil,

Use the searchoption and look for the cockpit project’s thread.
I have a brake relay in a similar condition as yours and came from a
dig.

Have you got any pics of your brake relay does it differ much between aircraft with these?

Cheers for that

it makes perfect sense now looking at it.

I think the markings stating 45 degrees threw me abit.

I dont suppose anyone knows of any pics of this or if anything might be missing of it and how it would of looked.

Id like to create a picture of how it would of looked in situ.

Would the Hendon Typhoon have one of these still in the cockpit?

ooooooo a Halifax cockpit, i have a special interest in Halifax’s hows the project going and do you have any pics?

cheers

This item provides the brake pressure to the left or right mainwheel
and makes it possible to steer on the ground (other than using the
power from the engines).

Are these brake relays still to be found in reasonable condition?
I need one for the Halifax cockpit.

Cheers

Cees

cheers stuart

that will be why i couldnt see it in the cockpit diagrams, i was thinking it would of been on either side to the pilot.

was this type of device common in english fighters?

It’s connected to the rudder pedals (broken lever connects to pedal assy),so not hand operated, used to steer the A/C on the ground.

cheers for that guys!

do you know where it would of been in the cockpit?

and how it would of worked.

I think part of the handle has broken away, it looked quite fiddly to use in the cockpit.

What does the 45 degrees marked on it do with braking?

cheers for any help.

That’s a brake relay Neil. Hope that helps.

Its the brake valve..
