Nevertheless they are rather nice Spitfires. I never had the patience to do that myself. ;)

Ozzy,

Lokking at Dave 'Funhouse's Website about his home built spitfire cockpit I reckon he could make all the parts you need.

Well, I think the closest I'll ever get to owning a Spitfire is placing a bid on fleabay for some "authentic", clapped out Elevator Trim Indicator. Although I will continue to buy lottery tickets.....miracles do happen.

Be careful buying on fleabay as there is a lot of dud stuff out there, even I've picked up the odd doozey and I'm rather genned up on Spits.....
