Once metal has stretched, that’s it.

Nope if your careful you can heat shrink it..
Here is a pic of our rollers..Same principle..

We have a lot of Spitfire part drawings if anyone needs anything..Tony can you Pm me a quote for a set of replica instruments for a MkV pleeeeeeeeaaase;)

I posted my message on the 17th and Qldspitty posted the drawing on the 18th , and as my crystal ball is currrently on loan to G4S I was not aware until then that they knew each other or that Gary was involved in the project.

He was for a while as parts chaser until he got ill with a back injury.He is now in the USA .

Used in Spitfires

Tony hope your mum gets better soon.Prayers mate..

Naaaaw

I speak on behalf of many who say your all have done a bloody marvelous job so no one is having a go..buts its the beauty of sharing information via the forum..finding out those titbits of info we normally would not have.:D

Yes it is great sharing.Thats one reason why I started was lack of info for us bottom feeders..Just having a cranky pants day.Last 7 years have been well….interesting but know how hard it is to get info needed for that one part to finish off an assembly.Still have a lot of missing parts of the puzzle (my empire for F20 fwd drawing..with measurements 🙂 ) to go.
The critical measurement is the height for the elevator control tube on the column as this needs to line up with the bellcrank behind F11:p

My word our work gets around 🙂
A simple folder can be made of a couple of G clamps,a block of wood and a table.

With the outside width at 1 inch a piece of wood or bar 20mm thick will do it.
