Hydraulic Jack for the landing gear

The pictures below shows the rod and seals, and the hydraulic jack manufacturer label for the Anson landing gear. We are in the process of replacing these seals. It should be noted that the only original seal made of O-ring rubber material is the rod seal. The original top, bottom and inner seals are made of some form of nylon or hard rubber.  So far rubber O-ring type of material has been sourced for the upper seal, rod seal, and bottom seal. The inner seals which fits inside the threaded brass coupling and steal upper collar has not been sourced at this time.

Anyone that knows where the inner seals can be sourced please let us known. Thanks

Stabilizer

The tip of the stabilizer was laminated by laying strips over copies of drawings.

Leading forms continue to be added to the leading edge of the stabilizer.

Cockpit

The cockpit is in the early phases of being restored.

Rudder peddles

The rudder peddles are being worked on. Smaller pieces for the rudder are being looked for from the many Anson frames we have. It is interesting that the pieces are all a little different making it challenge to use the original pieces that were used on #7481.

Tail sections

The vertical stabilizer is well on it's way. 

The tail section started with original pieces and newer pieces are being added as required. The original pieces with green paint can be seen in the photo below.

The mounting brackets are currently being added as shown in the picture below.
