Hiya guys.Been a while since one of these tech queries.. Lately with my real job has taken over so the Spit project has suffered somewhat.Trying to reignite the passion so going over the 3D assemblies and trying to fill in the gaps..Needed are some measurements of the Rudderbar slide assemblies that are coloured blue.They are the bits we are missing.Also a side view of the bits we do have in 3D.Is a mix of using the original GA drawings and some original parts providing data.Also item 18 is that the piece shown in the yellow circle??Looks like a seperate piece that goes over part 19.:confused:
Any good close ups of the parts layed out?:diablo:

Thanks Tony..Interesting!!!Didn,t know that about the cables,always thought it was two for all Marks of Spit…
Anyway have already got the GA drawing but the proportions look wrong,especially up the front where the square section goes into part 15.Have found out the hard way to question the drawings 😮 :rolleyes:
Lengths of the parts will help wipe away the fog that has clouded my brain…
It is a beautiful (painful) assembly with how it all adjusts with the starwheel.

I would have said yes, the end also only shows one hole in the plate (control cable attachment??) item 24 and 27 which would indicate a PR version, drawing I have put up has two holes as the fighter version had two control cables for backup where the PR’s only had one cable.
