Mosquito cockpit parts wanted

[robb]

Does anyone have, or know of, a DH98 throttle/prop quadrant that may be "surplus to requirements" and is available for purchase?
Also, any parts (that would be visible within the cockpit) associated with the aileron and elevator trim mechanisms. These are required for a 'functioning' replica FBVI cockpit/simulator I am building.
Now, if a canopy could be found.....

Thanks for any leads that may eventuate.

Hmmmm...Something like this...?


See Avspecs website: www.warbirdrestoration.co.nz/current.html

They are restoring a couple of Mosquitos to airworthy status so may have some 'surplus' parts available..?

There is a canopy on ebay for £20 I'll see if I can find the link again.
here it is;

Yes - thats the one, albeit after some superb TLC....
Now I'm sure there will still be one hidden in a shed somewhere. It's just that I probably won't find it until I have built a replica from scratch!
Regarding the canopy on EBay, it is a rare find, but as the description notes, it really can only be used as a garden ornament. Anyway, thanks for your attention.

The garden ornament may be even rarer, at least in these parts.... it has been suggested it may be off a Boulton Paul Balliol.

I have enough trouble finding Tomahawk and Cherokee junk.

I consulted a Mosquito expert (who's is working on the type) and he said the eBay canopy is not from a Mosquito, he suggested it may be from a Lancaster perhaps.
