Is it worthwhile for museums and restorers to add their ejection seat requirements to a running list so some of these cockpit ‘holes’ can be filled with the correct seat?

I’m still searching for parts to complete my Mk1E thats sitting in the museum at the moment. Had the seat for 20 years now and finding parts in Oz is almost non existant for that model as most were modded to Mk2E standard or scrapped when the Meteors were disposed of
So if anyone knows of where to get some parts for this seat..drop me a line!! PLEASE 😀

Will swap a nice restored Mk2H (Hunter) seat for an early 2H with foot rests OR I’m after a Mk2H seat pan that hasn’t been modified with the Snubbing Units for leg lines and has the lugs on the front face for attachment of the footrests.
These are for the cockpit of Hunter F.4 XF940 which never had the legline mods embodied.
Mark.
PS. I also have parts (main beam, chute can etc) for an early Mk1 seat. VERY ropey and has been well stripped, but may be useful for someone.

Could also do with a parts needed list as well as once the correct seat has been acquired then starts the fun of trying to kit it out….!
