Hurricane Parts Needed

Thu Dec 19, 2019 11:08 pm

Need the following for our Hurricane XII, to be flying in the spring:

* Tachometer - Pioneer Gauge with RPM range 0 to 4000
* Oxygen bottle Tee Fitting - Tee fitting that comes out the top of the oxygen bottle, 1/2" BSPT at the base, 1/4" BSPP on the tee ends. Usually made of brass.
* Manifold pressure gauge - Not sure who made these gauges. It does have 'CANADA' on the face with a range of -10 to 0 to 16 PSI
* Vertical Speed Indicator - Made by pioneer, range is 0 to 6000 up and down
* Electric thermometer - Goes in the coolant tank. Similar to the capillary type temp. probe but has a 2 or 3 pin connector on it.
* Rubber dust boots - For throttle and mixture control siding rods, they are about an inch long and .5" wide.
* Double acting valve rubber connectors - These rubbers are about .5" big on one end and 1" on the other.
* Voltmeter - PN: 5Q/1693 24V gauge. Same as Spitfire. Range should go to 40V
* Stbd side landing gear catch - This part screws into the axle of the landing gear leg and get caught by the snapjack to keep the landing gear locked up in flight. Its a sided part so its not interchangeable with the port side one.
* 12 Browning .303 British machine guns?? Kidding!...Kinda

Please send me a PM.

Thanks,

Dave
