Hawker part in Spitfire

Hi all, i was looking through some Spitfire PRXI drawings today & noticed on one of them that there was a Hawker part fitted !! Any one like to have a guess at what part ? Does anyone know of any other Hawker parts fitted in Spitfires ?

Steve.

Sutton Harness per chance? Seeing that they were first fitted to Sopwith Camels and Sopwith became Hawker Engineering in the 20’s.

You’ve been looking at my stash of drawings again, Mackerel.

Will try and find an/the answer in the New Year. 🙂
