Hi guys,

we're looking for a parts supplier other than Mohawk technologies LLC, AWAM and Carolinas Aviation Museums, please.

Any lead?

Thanks for the help, but Thomsons already replied that they need an export permit for the manuals, something I understand pretty well: this 1950 technology being still up-to-date, many countries are probably eager to copy. Well ...

You could try Essco for the manuals. I’m not sure about export restrictions, though.

A friend of mine has a yellow-tagged, servicable OV-1 throttle quadrant assembly complete with throttle and condition levers cables etc. PM me if you're interested and I'll put you in contact with him.

If you are legitimate, get an export permit. ITAR regs are very specific and the fines are very high, as well as federal government intervention into your business.
