I've recently ordered a repro Star Wars cockpit cabinet from DPtwiz so I've been on the lookout for all the metal pieces needed to put it together. As was expected, these are not easy to find so I contacted takeman about doing a run of repro metal for a SW cockpit cabinet. Troy said he has the bandwidth to handle this, but we need to get at least 20 orders to make this work. Right now, I'm thinking the kit will consist of:
-upper and lower attraction panel (marquee) brackets
-the two brackets to secure the canopy plexi
-four speaker grills
-two cabinet vent grills
The one piece that has not been finalized is the aluminum angle piece at the seat bend. That one going to be too expensive to reproduce so I've been trying to locate a suitable replacement. So far the only option I've come up with is in the attached pictures. It doesn't have the same profile as the orginal, but I think it would work. I've ordered a sample and I'm going to try it for fit this weekend so I'll post my results soon. Let me know what you think of this as a substitute. If anyone knows of a good source for something closer to the original though, please let me know.
One last note before I kick off the interest list. Of the pieces listed above, I have been able to locate all of them except the upper attraction panel bracket. If you have one that you would be willing to loan to Troy to repro, please PM me.
That's about it. I don't have a price for this yet, but none of these are complicated pieces (seat bend excluded) so it will probably be in line with the same price per piece as Troy's other repro kits. Please let me know if you would be interested in a kit and I'll start this list.
