Hi Brian
Top of the pile in picture 7 looks like part of the air intake fence outer rubber.
Cheers

Hi Steve

It helps to save them for the future.
All the best with it

That’s ok, nice piece you got there.
Looks like a cylinder from a 110hp Clerget 9Z.
Will.
Does the frame have any serial numbers on it?
Great idea. Thanks for adding the Barracuda Restoration.
Will.
I would like to say a big thank you to both radarsdesk and Whitley_project for there kind Donations which will help the restoration of DP872.
Cheers

Hi Mark
They seem close but the tips look to rounded, the Barra Merlin props were more squared off. Is there a better photo?.

Hi Dave – I have some spare 2BA bolts I can send you if you are interested?
Hi Whitley_project
Thank you, Dave will be in touch with you regarding 2BA bolts if he hasn’t done so already.
Cheers
Will.
Sounds good.
Hi Bruce
Yes you could be right but if I can get it to work what a way to finnish the rebuild and keep it authentic throughout. We will not be relying on the oil/neumatic suspension to hold the Barra up and the Oleo’s will be gagged on the outside with a bespoke item. Finger’s crossed that we have no leaks.
Cheers
