Short Stirling pulleys.

Hi Scott

That would be great thanks 😀 I don’t think we have one of those and anything that can help us recreate the fwd fuselage is very much appreciated.

I’ll send you a PM with my contact details

cheers

Hi John, excellent!. Any use to the project? Maybe as a pattern?. If so let me know and I’ll send it your way. Regards, Scott.

I think I’ve got the other part:eagerness:

It looks like a retainer for the ballast weights and is seen on the LH side of the bomb aimers compartment in the photo below

Judging by the size, the pulley could be one of 2 that sit directly below the first pilot and are for IIRC the elevator controls. At first I thought the tubular piece could be part of the Pilots seat, but that’s mag alloy, I’ve seen something like it in the cockpit area but I can’t quite place it.

Sorry can’t help any more

Hi John

Here is the pulley, or 1/2 of it anyway.Numbers are 488295 and 400023? and a script of SKEFI???. The pulley would have a diameter of 4 inches. I also have this steel piece with what looks like a tap and a wooden blanking plug with traces of cockpit green. Any ideas ?. Regards, Scott. [ATTACH=CONFIG]218060[/ATTACH]

Hi Scott

Phenolic pulleys were used just about everywhere, to put it another way we needed to get somewhere in the region of 120 just for the forward fuselage section!

I don’t recognise the Pt No unfortunately, generally speaking Stirling Pt Nos are 7 digit and normally begin with 029, 129, 229 etc. I take it you have one to hand so an idea of size would be helpful or a photo

cheers
