Hardware Part Numbers

[KungFuCharlie]

Does anyone have a list of part numbers for various switches, knobs, etc that are good "look alike" parts for the A-10C? I've seen a few posted in various threads in the past but unable to locate them now. One thread with the full list would be killer.

Read here and the next three pages. There's a website that will let you order ones for a f16. This link is on that thread. I hope it gets you pointed in the right direction.

for knobs it's almost impossible to get every one that looks like the real thing. Those that happen to be the same as the F-16's are still possible. A few of them I borrowed, made molds, then returned to the lender. Others I simply improvised, esp. volume knobs etc. from Radio Shack or Fry's. You have to decide when it's close enough when the ones that you find.

 

Learning how to make molds to replicate is a great skill, saves you money and have fun at the same time. Also, sometimes you can combine a knob and a flat disk for the round base, or simply shape something from an acrylic block or wood, it depends on your creativity level and skills with tools. Part of the process is to have fun. But if these are too tedious and not fun to you, then it's better to buy them off the shelve if you can find them. Take a look at this fuel panel lever knob for example. I don't think it can be bought anywhere, so I shaped it from an acrylic block.

I am working on it other things that have come up and taking apart panels to get Parts number or nsn off of them is not a high priority right now as i take panels apart to repaint them i will annotate the numbers and descriptions if there is enough interest. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=992510&postcount=277 Edited October 13, 2010 by Deadman
