  1. All the late fighters used the A9 mag switch. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aircraft-AAF-A-9-Mag-Switch-/153903302340
  2. Just the knobs and missing bits to complete an original throttle a guy I knew had.
  3. Depends on the plane manufacturer as there were quite a few different types of Zinc Chromate used.Find one in a modellers paint,paint a sample then get a paint shop to match it as Streakeagle noted.
  4. Problem with photos sometimes is the fish eye effect of camera lenses which put the size off slightly.They are a good start though.
  5. The wheel designs are taken off an original.Handle I had to go off drawings and photos.
  6. Some stuff I have.
  7. Off memory its throw rods and Bowden cable setup (bike brake cables or mower throttle cable) for control.
  8. Or try Ebay if your crazy enough. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/De-Havilland-Mosquito-Box-Throttle-Quadrant/284083139719?hash=item4224acb487:g:wg4AAOSwys9fspvy
  9. I did some knobs for an ex friend who has an original Mozzie Quadrant.Try the Historic Airplane forums for photos,manuals or plans.Only a few companies in the world have rebuilt Mosquitos. https://www.warbirdrestoration.co.nz/past.html#ka114
  10. The early 109 throttle was a lot simpler in design than the standard type seen.
  11. Another lot of throttles Sorry for delay,real lifes been stealing my time in getting another set of 5 done.Two down,three to go.
  12. Meh why I use aluminium...Only use plywood for hammerforming blanks.
  13. Dang Stang thats beautiful..
  14. I can highly recommend Stangs P51 CAD drawings.All the P51 parts Ive made have come from his work.. https://www.shapeways.com/product/L2L948A6E/k14-reticule-control-p51?optionId=63433387&li=shops
  15. Ive bounced between metric and Imperial all my life..The magic number is 25.5 or going the other way 0.0393700787401575‬ :) Problem is today the majoritory of CNC/Laser and Waterjet cutters prefer Metric.
  16. I just got the final pieces together for some P51 throttles.The company who does my waterjet company got snowed under so put me behind.And yes they have the K14 twist grip. I like the look of the new Replica controls!
  17. Other way is buy the extrusion in lengths and cut to length then use a 3D printer to make your own connectors.
  18. Dont forget the WW2 crowd as well..
  19. He used these ones. https://www.dogfightboss.com/
  20. That I agree on..Thingverse is a nightmare and Yeggi is huuuuuge.A dedicated sticky thats well organized will be most welcome.
  21. They have a sticky setup at Checksix http://www.checksix-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=286&t=189628&sid=688b3f460c6c69a5b05692bf501a2368 Problem with sharing 3D files is that it takes business away from the designers who have the parts up on Shapeways.We get upset when our hard work gets passed around for free and we dont get any acknowledgement. Sometimes it takes weeks or months of unpaid research in doing rare and complex part designs.
  22. Built by the talented guy at Heritage Flight Simulations. https://heritageflightsim.com/home/products/
  23. Ive found that with some letters as well in ProDesktop..
  24. Maybe use a bunk bed as a base?
