I'm looking for some relevant information - descriptions and drawings about Harrier throttle control and nozzle selection panel. Despite it's quite interesting thing I've found only two images showing some details - not much anyway. Please help me with some more detailed stuff.
Cheers !

Thanx a lot, great pics ! I suppose that pictures shows AV-8B throttle quadrant ? What about last drawing ? I thing thats from some earlier version of the Harrier ?

I'm looking for the harrier stick pictures as well - as far as I know the AV-8B uses the same stick as F-15 C ? What about earlier versions like AV-8A or british GR1, GR3 ?
Cheers !

Yeah thats a av-8b quadrant, I think the last picture is a older type(Mk.3 I reckon)
As far as the stick, all the pictures I seen of U.S. versions have a stick similar as the f-15. So a suncom stick would do the job ;\)
British harriers however have another type(don't know the type or such). A couple of years ago Mart Aviation Ltd. had a lot of old RAF sticks for sale. It seems that they don't have any right now, but you could ask them maybe \:D

Ok, so far I found that big lever controls the engine R.P.M., smaller one oposite to thr. control rotates the nozzles and what is the purpose of the small lever located between those two ?

Based on the holes in the metal band, that appears to be a mechanical stop set by the pilot. It looks like it wouldn't let the nozzle control go past a certain position.
