star wars yoke bits

Gentlemen,

I have given up waiting to find a Star wars yoke on eBay and have decided to replicate the original! To do this I am looking for a little help for the last few items:

1. I need to have access in the UK to an original yoke to measure the, Steering Assembly frame, Handle Assembly frame and cover.

2. Access to an original Modified bearing that was used on the Steering and Handle assemblies 040243-01

3. Access to a Handle Torsion Spring 040246-01 or a source for these.

4. A source for the 0.750 inch retaining clip 178012-001 or a similar clip.

Many Thanks in advance

Danny,

Thanks for the link and I have checked it out.

I have decided to build a 100% repro. I have 95% of the parts but just need some exact measurements of the metal assemblies, together with a bearing and a spring then I am in business to replicate all the original parts.

Regards
