Hi Guys
We are glad to say that after all the problems of the last few months, and after being revitalised by Cockpitfest 2009, Max and I are now back hard at work on our Chipmunk cockpit section.
We have now moved to a small rented workshop very near our home in Leicester, so we are able to pop down and work on her far more regularly. Indeed progress has gone into overdrive at the moment.
So, here is a list of items we are missing to help complete her, and help or leads as always will be much appriciated.
1) Windscreen!
2) Windscreed suround metalwork, or templates of the same.
3) Lower instrument panel mounts, port and stbd (just the part the panel actualy hangs on).
4) Rear cockpit mag switch bracket.
5) Rear cockpit mag swithch.
6) Small clip that holds the headset socket next to the seat.
7) Any harness components.
8) Rear harness to canopy rail attachment.
9) Firewall fuel filter assy.
10) Firewall, Vacume union and filter (large bulkhead fitting).
11) Firewall, Brake pipe / hydraulic, union (small bulkhead fitting).
12) Dzus type fastener for the glove / map locker door.
13) Coffman starter trigger ring assy from front cockpit.
14) Engine oil tank.
15) Canopy rail fibre stop blocks.
Any parts, in any condition at all considered.
Thanks in advance,
Ritch and Max Blood.

If it’s in one piece, that’s a good start!
Hi Dave
If it’s in one piece, then it’s better than what we have now!!! and any other bits (the knurled nut sounds a great start!!), you know we have a good home for them.
Incidentaly, she is now in the lockup near our home next to the one you visited, and is coming on in leaps and bounds. Max spends hours curled up inside the cockpit, and I will be attaching the rear fuselage very soon.
Best wishes,
Ritch Blood.

Sound a fair deal.
Hi Dave
That sounds like a very fair deal. Would you like a photo of the overhead panel Max has?, and could you send Max a photo of the windscreen you have to swap please.
Best wishes,
Ritch Blood.

Happy to trade a windscreen for a Pembroke overhead panel.
