dark light

new made TR9 cable connectors

I have had a batch of these made up for the Whitley – they have other uses too, but are mainly used in the set up of the remote controls for the wireless.

I have some spare – if anyone needs some please give me a shout.

Hi Bruce

I have the burnt remains of one from a scottish wreck and the control levers and pistons from another. I even have the drawings for them. Next time we meet I can show you.

The selectors were Lockheed designed and licence built by Automotive Products of Leamington Spa. The Whitleys shared the hydraulic flow valves also common to the Mossie. The company have agreed to overhaul any of their hydraulics for us – I just need one that is overhaulable!

I suspect that Phil has the later clamps in that case.

Cheers

I am sure I can find you a selector. Are you sure they are the same as Whitley?

There are some later style teleflex clamps that have a flare nut and greaser, and also some with just a flare nut and barrel.

Interesting you say that Bruce as I understand Classic Aero have some teleflex clamps but they are apparently nothing like these…

I’m after a Mossie type hydraulic selector – don’t suppose you know where I can get one? I need the three lever variety – same as in the Whitley.

There was a thread on it a while back. I have been putting my own list together – i’ll start it as a separate thread. If anyone wants to add to it, great.

As for Whitleys – the prefixes are AW or SP. If anyone has anything i’ll be pleased to hear from them. Other armstrong whitworth aircraft used the AW prefix, but as far as I know SP was particular to the Whitley.

What are the component p/n ranges for the AW made bits of a Whitley, do they have a standard prefix or suffix.
I just wonder if people may have parts without knowing what they are from.
Does a site exist that lists p/n ranges by manufacturer or type.

They are actually used all over the place, in a great number of aircraft. They are teleflex joining clamps, and most aircraft that have teleflex controls will have a good few of these.
