    Thanks Alan

    Guessed as much. It seems to be the one aircraft for which there’s no parts catalogue!!!:rolleyes:

    Doesn’t the Stirling Project have access to the Stirling Spare Parts Schedule or its associated Appendix A? They should be in there somewhere?

    Hi Alan

    We haven’t unfortunately, the only info we’ve been able to glean for the aircraft is from the Vol 2 and the little info that RAFM has (some assorted Parts schedule amendment sheets).

    Silly long shot question but would you happen to know if one exists?

    Hi Elliott

    received the Pulley yesterday, for which many thanks :), we’ll offer it up to the originals on Saturday and I’ll let you know how we get on. Out of interest, if they are suitable, how many of these have you got?

    regards

    Hi all

    some more news on progress with the the throttle box, coupe jig and rudder pedal assembly related here: http://stirlingproject.co.uk/throttle-box-coupe-p2-rudder-pedal-progress/

    Hi Waynne

    They’re more than likely going to be to US standards which are a different size to UK AGS types, I’ve investigated these before and unfortunately they’re not a close match

    Kev – I have large number of almost identical pullies but ever so slightly smaller. Mine are 1.4″. I’m sure they’d do you fine.

    Hi Elliott

    Sounds plausible, would it be possible to borrow one to hold against the originals to see if they’re a likely match?

    regards

    Sorry Kev, forgot to mention the Stirling work (sorry:rolleyes:) that you’ve done in measuring up and recreating the casting patterns 🙂

    As David says, this is a 3D jigsaw with most of the parts missing and with poor pictures to follow to recreate it and to boot one of the most visible and crucial parts of the build

    Happy New Year to you all.

    Lots of ‘stuff’ on the go at the moment: The rudder pedal assembly recently acquired from Air Ministry have been stripped down and is being prepared for re-assembly alongside the new build ones for the 2nd pilot. Throttle box is now about 90% complete, just needing some intricate machining work on the throttle lever cam followers and the starter panel.

    CAD work on the cockpit coupe is also progressing well as can be seen below 🙂

    I can only sympathise with you for having to move workshops; we’ve had to do it 4 times in the last 3 years! Hope all goes well with settling in and that you can continue to make great progress

    You’re not a fisherman by any chance Elliott? LOL

    IIRC, the internal diameter of the type 3 fairing should be just over 11″ as that’s the diameter of the loop itself. We’ve got a type 4 which is much too small but would certainly be in the market for a repro type 3 Elliott.

    Martin, I suspect that the one you have is correct, 4′ seems a tad long to me

    Hi Elliott

    The Stirling used the larger type too so if anyone knows the whereabouts of one…. 🙂
