Spitfire Technical help required

Are those shrouded pulleys still available? They are used in the trimming controls of the Halifax as well. I have an original set but have suffered a bit from a sudden stop :rolleyes:

Spitfire stuff

Andy G: yes I think I have, two different CD’s with copies of manuals are winging there way over here as I type. Hopefully they will cover the areas we were looking for.
Peter: thanks will look for them and talk to them.

What about contacting canadian bearing? we bought some new replacement bearings which were exact matches for ones in our coolant pumps!

Did you get anywhere with the Instrument manuals Harold?

Bruce: Thanks for the info will try and trace down this KLNJ3/8 pulley do you perchance have a company name that produced these?

Mark 12: Thanks for the info as well. It all helps to restore a lovely aircraft.

Just to clarify the bearings are for the larger control cable pulleys in the tail mounted on Frame 20 and on a U channel between Frame 20 and 21

Bruce,

The first stage to recovery is acceptance.

I travelled the same long road myself until the day when I had the strength and confidence to stand up in public and admit.

“I am an Anorak!”
“I am a person with more than just a passing interest in Warbirds, FW190’s, Spitfires, Beaufighters, Mosquito’s, Merlins, DB605’s, Griffons, Shackletons, airframe construction techniques etc etc etc”

Unfortunately there is no cure……

😀

Hmm, Dont think I own an anorak – perhaps I aspire to one however!

Spitfire Anoraks disputing the finer details of Mitchell’s baby!

Can’t beat it.

This is a great example of this forum doing what it does best.

DIGBY – he says various control and trim cable pulleys. As you know, the trim pulleys are a plain bearing, and the only other pulleys in the trim system are the type used in the uplock system, which do have the bearings as suggested. KLNJ3/8 matches the dimensions quoted…

Wrong pulleys – Harold appears to be working on the uplock pulleys – the aluminium shrouded ones that bolt on Frame 8, 5 and in the wings.

Bruce since when did they have trim pulleys in the wings ie read the post again he says trim system

AGS Pulleys and bearings

Harold,

Does this help?

Mark

Found it – you need a KLNJ3/8 bearing – although they are listed as 7/32 thick in the book…

That is what we used to use at HFL.

Pulley bearings

Thanks Bruce. If you find the number I would be grateful.

They are still available, and exactly match the old ones, but right now I cant for the life of me remember the number!

I’ll see if I can find it!
