Hurricane instrument panel parts wanted

The guys from www.cockpitinstrumente.de were so friendly to put my project to their page.

the chap in the ebay advert above is selling a kigass primer pump thingy, and says its suitable for hurricanes and spitfires.

Thanks bloodnok. The Kigass pump comes quite often and even maybe they´ve planned to put the pump to the panel, they didn´t. So do I.

Wow, thanks Fluffy!
They are great for my studies.
I mean you had to put some postwar instruments but it´s very nice to see you kept the old watime layout!

Does this help this is from one of our Hurricanes and this is from the other

Thanks Laurent

I have these, the switch is original, the plate of the switch and the face of the U/C indicator are not. So at least a nice filler.
Corke sold simplified Hurricane replica panels like his Spitfire´s.
So he needed them to fill the holes.

By the way. The mysterious hole would suit a Kigass primer pump!
The distance from screwhole to screwhole would fit my drawing (3cm)
So maybe they really planned to mount the primer to the panel.

I almost forgot:
Anyone having an undercarriage indicator switchbox 5C/1991 as spare?
I was lucky to get a Canadian one, a British would be an update, for sure 😀
Does anybody know, if any other aircraft used this kind of switch?
Thanks,
Herbert

I decided to go for a replica of the boost cutout switch.
Does someone have some measurements for me? 😮
Or might be someone that good to produce a replica out of that drawing? I only have the measurements of the holes at the panel, so it could be compared with that. I also only need the parts to be seen at the front of the panel and it don´t has to move.
Thanks and regards,
Herbert

You should have a look here :

Yes, I was almost taken in by those two items the first time I saw them.

Think Spitfire trim indicator and watch what you say (or type!). 😀

But in fairness to the vendor, he does say “static use only”, because they are doctored to look like authentic Hurricane items.

And quite a nice job he’s made of it, too.

Cockpit shots

By the way, I would apprectiate any Hurricane cockpit shots for my studies.

Thanks and regards,

In my opinion the Mk II drawing rather shows something planned new.

It offers the hole for the fuel pressure warning light instead of the Mk I´s fuel pressure indicator.
It has adaptation for the smaller starting pushbutton instead of the Mk I´s early big one.
So I don´t think that it still offers holes of gauges not been used anymore.

Kigass never on panel. My money still on fuel warning light. early ac had fuel pressure gauge….later just had the light. the lamp was fitted on the blanking plate that went over old fuel press gauge

At least there were Spitfires like the Mk VII with the priming pump at the panel.
I guess a round fuel pressure gauge would have the dimentions of a boost gauge, but the hole in the panel is smaller in diameter.

Would someone have dimentions of the Kigass for me?

Hmmm,

Well all I can say off the top of my head is that the hole looks about the right size for a Kigass pump.

Maybe it was intended to install it on the panel rather than just below it?

Unfortunately, I’m not near to a Kigass pump to check the holes with those on your drawing.

If anyone can supply the measurements it might enable us to knock one idea off the list?

Grrr, instrument panels – are any two ever the same?!

Seems this one was made after my drawing and the specific hole seems to be filled with a blank panel.

Hello Al
Don´t think so, because according my drawing the fuel pressure warning lamp has it´s own hole left of the oil pressure indicator.
Regards,
Herbert

It’s the mounting point for the Fuel Pressure Warning Lamp.

Probably a 5C/1638, mounted on a rectangular plate.

By the way.
There´s still one mystery regarding one hole.
At this Mk II drawing you can see a round hole in between the rectangular oil pressure indicator and the big fuel gauge, too small for a common gauge.
Has anybody an idea?
