Need photos of B17 Hydraulic panel original installation

Post by SPANNERmkV »

Hello All,
We are looking for photos of an original installation of the hydraulic panel and the trim panel where the tubing goes towards the right wing.

This is the panel behind the co-pilot's seat.
All of the Manual photos hide the details of the hydraulic lines with the Oxygen bottles.

There are two lines that go to the side before making the bend and at least one line that goes above the panel before enterring the side panel.

Everything I am finding on Youtube videos and websites jumps from the pilot and co-pilot's area with the instrument panel straight to the bomb-bay IF it doesn't skip that too and go directly to the radio room.

Lone Star's THUNDERBIRD has a non-original panel set-up so that is not an option for us.


Thanks for any assistance,
SPANNER

I think I have the drawings or photos somewhere for the hydraulic lines. Keep reminding me and I will try to locate them for you.
