Hi,
In the Fokker G.1 manual there is a drawing made by Dunlop with the number AH 2267. This drawing shows an overview of the main landing gear wheel. Is there anyone who has a part list ( numbers ) for the seperate parts on this drawing 2267?
Best regards,
Mathieu.

Dunlop who make aircraft tyres are totally seperate nowadays from the Dunlop who made (and still do) aircraft wheels, brakes, controls, etc.
The latter is now part of Meggitt Aerospace Ltd. and still operate from part of the (once massive) Dunlop factory in Holbrooks, Coventry. If you’re going to write – Meggitt Aerospace, Holbrook Lane, Coventry should get there – or do a quick search on the net.
Dunlop aircraft tyres are still produced at a part of Fort Dunlop in north Birmingham.

I would contact Dunlop, they tend to hold onto their drawings, indeed they do batches of Spit tyres to the original drawings.
