Brewster Buffalo - Blueprints/Replica?

First time I try to add an image, hope it works.
The first photo is from an altimeter from a Dutch Buffalo, I found it it in the USA some time ago. The other showes my own project.

Best regards,

Where did you get the seat from? Or did you fabricate it yourself?

Alan: Better way to handle the drawing is to put them on the computer in something like Pro-E, Mechanical Desktop or Solid Works. There, you can check entire assemblies for mis-allignment, dimensional problems and outright drawing errors. It's a darn sight cheaper and lest frustrating to find the error in the computer than in the last bit of assembly work.

With a little practice, you can develope a single part in 3D with any of those drawing packages fairly quickly. One of the great side advantages is that any machined parts that you develope can be exported to a CAM program and then handed over to the machine shop for CNC fabbing.

Thanks CV. You just described the set up at the Ezell's. I understand the process, just not the intracies. I also don't know the program they use, but have been sitting with Ashley watching him work a specific part, using the program. Mathieu, great start!

@Gerrit,

Indeed, this it the forum I was referring to. But when you try the link you gave it reads: error, page not found.

Best regards,
