Hi everyone

I was given these by a friend who thought they may be A-26 Invader. I have had a quick look but there is not much to go on - maybe someone here will recognise them, would love to know. Two of them are the same, with the hatches, other one has large dimple as shown in pic.

The only part number visible on any of them is 4143750 on the green one with the circular hatch (it's on the hatch) No other numbers seem to be stamped on them anywhere

Cheers

Ewan

Yup, Dishpan, goes behind the engine in the nacelle.

or at least that's what they look like...

ZRX61 is right. A-26 dishpans. The two halves go together to form a false firewall behind the engine.

And some of the hardware that holds those dishpans in place inside the nacelles is durn-near impossible for a fat-fingered doofus like me to get to...

And the spring snap closed round hatch is a 'knock in' for fire extinguisher access to the accessory section
