As an example of the attention to detail we are applying to our restoration work here is the Elevation Clutch on our Type 86 Radar. One good unit has evolved from from two bad ones; our own and one reclaimed from a discarded cabin wreck. Here they are as removed from the aerial assembly on top of the cabins; they had suffered considerable deterioration from ravages of the elements.
As well as restoring the paint a new pivot bracket had to be manufactured for the engagement lever and a new Terry clip sourced.
All complete and working, the engagement lever is locked down on its Terry clip.
