A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Hi, a friend without internet access is attempting to finish off his static R-1340 restoration but is short of a few bits - can anyone help with these please:
1 pc Front Ignition Wire Manifold, complete with the wiring harness. Figure 7 - 102
1 set Distributor blocks fitting into the Bendix Scintilla Magnetos, type SB 9RN. Figure 30
1 pc Generator drive Figure 52
1 pc Plate inside the generator drive Figure 56
A complete set of Baffles for the cooling of the cylinders
1 pc Propeller hub
1 pc Propeller Nut
These are for a static engine so do not need to be serviceable, in fact best of not as it wouldn't be an appropriate use for seviceable parts.
If anyone has any of these, please do shout.
Many thanks
