These beautiful brackets were recently manufactured to original drawings by Prior Engineering in South Nutfield, Surrey. Thier level of quality and precision never ceases to amaze me! The brackets are what basically holds the upper roof structure in place which collapsed upon recovery due to the severe corrosion as can be seen below in the next photograph.
Pilot's Bulk Head 'Hoop' attachment brackets. Because of the level of corrosion we had new onse made which will now allow us to continue working on the cabin roof structure.
A before and after of the cockpit brackets, the difference is obvious! and the finished result is beautiful!
We must thank Aero Trader in the US for supplying the drawings and also Prior Engineering who are of South Nutfield, Surrey.
