Spitfire brackets for what

Hi Bruce
Thanks for that. Has anyone got a picture or a plan to show this location as I can’t picture it in my head.

Its a mounting for an air gallery that feeds pressure to the brake valve; goes on the floor between frames 8 and 9.

See, the old memory still works; it just takes a few days to spool up!

Griffon aeroplanes I think, but poss Mk 8 as well.

Nope, part number in post #1 😉

Oh right yep, should have read it right !!

Steve

you must have good eyes if you can see 59 stamped on it !!

Part numbers ending ’59 would appear to be ‘brake gear’

Found it. But what about the other.

Finally cracked it. Page 43 of the ‘Spitfires and Polished Metals’ by Graham Moss and Barry McKee shows this item as the end bracket on the horizontal stabiliser.
Any more ideas on the other bracket. Possibly a floor attachment.

Extended horn rib of the elevator perhaps?

I thought first pic looked like elevator rib but maybe tailplane.

Spitfire haynes manual

I think your probably right Bruce. I refer to Page 59 of the Haynes owners workshop manual. There is a diagram of a tail plane and some items carry the numbers 351189 etc. Its the nearest thing I can think of.
Dont suppose anyones got a drawing which may confirm this.

Remember, the first three numbers reflects the first Mk the item was used on, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t used on a Mk9.

First one looks like a tail plane end rib. The other is familiar, but I can’t place it off hand. Pretty sure it’s on the cockpit floor.

First looks more like the end of some rib to me
