Plea for a static Spitfire top engine mount lug

Any news on lugs Richard as I am desperate!!!!

IIRC, you can fit them once the firewall is assembled anyway – its only the Griffon ones that have to be assembled in situ.

Cheers all…still looking!
The firewall (bottom half) is complete and is held in by tie wraps (I forgot to mention I also need the stainless steel L brackets!!)

Hey Tony,havent found a top one with our stash,only real rusty bottom ones but will keep an eye out for you.. 😀

I am sure I have asked before, but my static fuselage requires a port (I actually dont mind though as I need to fill the hole!) top engine mount lug that goes into the port datum longeron at frame 5/firewall…..I dont mind conditon!! I can pay….obviously as nothing is free in the Spit world!!
Mk1 to 9 fine….please pm me or email me…they often survive crashes

Hi Tony, the top mount from a MK1 is shorter than a MK IX with only 3 attachment holes. Probably not a problem for you though. Bit like hens teeth though.

does not matter for me Peter as I do not intend to fit a bearer!

cheers Richard you are a star!

Doesn’t the change from short to long Merlin affect the angle of that lug by a few degrees?

Just wondering.

I’ll take a look this weekend Tony, I know I have some relic engine bearer parts that I no longer need. Finished that Firewall yet?
