Hey Nails,
What did you use for the template for the panel? I have a scale drawing, but I still have to get it blown up of put into a CAD application of some sort.

Hi Boobies.
I also had a printable template (since gone in to the ether). I printed it out, then glued it to card and used this as a template to draw on to the hardboard. I even used a bog-standard saw to cut round the outline. Using a file to finish it off.
The BFP was also cut out of hardboard. Must have done this at least 3 times. I sat on one, snapped it in half, that was a hell of a day!
I will try and find what I used. If I do, I will let you know.

In my video, the two Magneto Switch's were fitted to the bombers (long throw). I didn't know this until some propeller head pointed it out to me! So not long after the video, I fitted the correct ones.

I haven't sat on anything yet, but I do have a 3 year old that likes to "help".Nails wrote:Hi Boobies.

That's pretty much my plan. I think I've scaled this up to the right size, I just need to find a place to print it out.

Just another update.
I have just fitted the two working Oil & Fuel Pressure Gauges (the other photos of my build just showed place holders). My visit to Tangmere gave me a kick up the arse to get on with it!
