there's a bloke on ebay uk that makes/casts them himself, you could get the grip and lever for under £100, don't pay stupidly extortionate prices from the likes of Sspares!

Yes, I use this drawing posted above as reference, and parts of PVC electrical conduit 90 degree elbow. http://i44.tinypic.com/2lt6fte.jpgIs difficult get info about dimension - above Krupi say ~140mm as width, in another forum the guy say 130mm... I did more close to 130mm. The info about fire button I receive from a collector in Keypublishing forum (seem that a guy from there write a book about this grips). Curiously I don't see pictures on Web similar to those drawing - and Krupi cast - that have large flange on base and different support for brake cable than AH2174 or AH8068. Is supposedly for Spitfire Mk.IX. Sokol1

Excellent! That stupid thing has been around the world *twice*. First time was my fault. *laughs* I still haven't had a chance to tweak the model you sent in order to add the hole for the brake lever. I did buy the needed heat-set inserts for it though. I need a clone to do my day job so I can spend all my time tinkering with flight simulators. g.
