Hello all. I'm looking for single seat Vampire parts. There are some particular ones I'm looking for at the moment, but all sorts are needed. I'm new to the forum as of today so feeling a little bit like learning to drive some new machine... For starters, some of the parts we are after: L00809 or L00809A Boss, U/C Lever (Control Box). Would be very happy to buy a complete single seat Vampire control box, but this part is what we need to complete the box in the aircraft. CANOPY RAILS: A001675, 26FC/2893, Rail, Canopy, LH and A001676, 26FC/2894, Rail, Canopy, RH CANOPY SEAL Preferred: 12FC89A, 26FC/6727 , Seal, for canopy Otherwise: A005177A, 26FC/4175, Seal, for canopy B00162 - Bolt, swivel, locking door in front armour bulkhead No.1 I have a lot of items for trade, but happy to buy too. See here for more info: vhjet.com/home/help-needed/Some photos of the U/C lever boss are below. The parts book illustration for the single-seater is first and for the trainer second. They are mostly quite different but the particular part is common to both. Cheers.
