    Thanks for your input guys. I’m afraid you are way off the mark if you think you can compare the fabrication of most static vs airworthy projects. I had some airworthy frame 11 parts made fairly recently and the workmanship is exquisite.

    I never heard of any of the homebuilt Spitfire cockpit projects having parts heat treated either. For most applications this simply isn’t necessary.

    So to avoid any further thread creep, does anyone know of anyone doing these please? I’m not interested in getting into an argument about the details and costs. They are my problem, no one elses.

    Aluminium FB. One difference is that commercial aluminium is a lot softer and easier to work…

    I’m not sure that is right – just because it matches a number on the list doesn’t mean this is an Air Ministry Stores number. The list doesn’t work that way. Many stamped numbers do not give any useful information and may be misleading.

    A picture is what is needed to help with an ID.
