Replica instruments and faces

I know its probably been covered before but I am blowed if I can find it.

looking for a source for replica full size ww2 instrument panel gauges etc also Ithink someone was doing the glass only plus also just the faces of the gauges etc.

Its for a simple instrument panel display full size for a plastic Spitfire cockpit.

Trim guage is just a boost guage housing with a doohicky at the back for the bowden cable..Do have drawings for the internal mechanism if you want to go that far..Ps Tony have a new email addy.. 😉

Hi Ross,

Am afraid your wrong there mate, the trim gauge housing is an actual Supermarine 30034 part number and is slightly longer in body than the boost guage housing and its only todays cheap replicas that use redundant boost cases as its only for cosmetic use.
Hope the drawing for the oil/water seperater was ok.

Keystone Instruments, in Lock Haven Pa., is the outfit that many U. S. antiquers use. If you’d be willing to deal with a Yank company, you can ask them here…

…if they know what a Spitfire is.
