| Does anyone have a spare footbrake rod (pedal to cross shaft) please? No joy so far from the usual suppliers. Thanks Mike |

Oh dear Mike. I'm looking for one too but was relying on Mike Dowley to supply.
Here's hoping there's someone out there who knows of a source for both of us.

Mike and Andy, Digby Elliott makes these. Check with him to see if he has any on hand.

I am about to make a small batch for my D and two local J owners.
They will be from solid square stock as the first one from tube proved not strong enough.
I could add one or two more, though it might take a month or two before they are finished.

Onno,
early D ... short chassis.... parts are different to cope with the shallower and shorter chassis side rails.... so check what you need .....Late D and J dims are the same.

I had to resolve this problem a while back. The correct tubing is known as 4130N tubing and can be sourced from UK companies who supply materials for home built aircraft, e.g. Sky-craft ltd. This link takes you to the page:
http://www.sky-craft.co.uk/acatalog/Skycraft_Home_Builder_Permit_Aircraft_Steel_Stock_4130_Tube.html
£15.70 per foot for 9/16" x 0.12 wall, and it should come with a certificate of conformance.
Mention in dispatches goes to Lew Palmer and John Reid who came up with the original spec.
So many dynamos |

Do you happen to know how much shorter the shaft is on the Early D. The first one I made for my early D did not fit correct. Now I know why, it was a copy from my J2.
Thanks
Gary

Gary,
Total length is 15 1/2"
length between pin centres is 14 5/*'
length of tube between ends is 12 1/4"
Lever arm on brake cross shaft is approx 1/4" shorter than on the later cars, so does not project above top of chassis rail.
hope this helps
