Good evening all,
I have a Canberra, Macchi, Vampire, Venom and Meteor ejection seats that need restoration.
Most of these seats are missing parts.

I was wondering where would be a good place to start looking for these missing parts?


regards

Thanks Peter.
I'll take a look.
It surprises me how easy some people make seat restoration look.
