Adding the mount. though it would either have to be 3D printed or cast. No other way to make reasonably. Also adjusted knob angles as the were too far round.

Not sure I will use an original design mount as mine is going to be a desktop version. May make one that style.

Looking really good - I look forward to the finished thing! I'm just building a Spitfire throttle, and getting the dimensions as close as possible to the real thing, but adapting it for desktop use. I'm using potentiometers and a couple of microswitches wired to a Leo Bodnar unit. It's all made from steel and aluminium sheet. Mostly basic metal cutting, drilling, bending and a little welding, but no lathe or milling required. Work in progress but it's nearly finished...

So have started to make parts on my CNC.

Started with a complicated bit.

But came out lovely.

Ok will see if this shows up.

Was a bugger to make. Had to glue the 1mm aluminium to a piece of steel in the end to keep it flat. Came out vary nice. Just need paint to finish.
