Hello All!

I had the pleasure of flying the mighty Beechcraft Turbo Mentor (T-34C) for 4 of my 25 years flying in the U.S. Navy, first as a Student Naval Aviator in 1996 at NAS Whiting Field, FL and then as an Instructor Pilot in the years 2001-2004 at NAS Corpus Christi, TX.

Over the years, my hobby has been slowly acquiring a replica of that cockpit that I know so well. I am down to a few missing gauges from the instrument/engine panel and was hoping someone here might point me in the right direction. eBay has been a good resource, but I'm finding a few gauges that have proven hard to find for purchase.

If I'm successful, even if these last few gauges may not have come from a T-34C, if they are Beechcraft products, I'm hopeful they are reasonably close to what I remember, the pictures I see, and the manual I have from my flying days.

I'm going to list those gauges now in the "Want to Buy" section.

Specifically, they are an Accelerometer (G-meter), ITT indicator, and Dual oil temp/oil pressure gauge.

Thanks for adding me,

Mike

Hi Mike, welcome to BT! I don't have any gauges but would love to see some pictures of your project!

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply! See attached for what I have so far.

Hi Mike, welcome to BT. Good luck with the project!

Hi Mike,

I'm also in Charlottesville area, would be great to hang out sometime!

When you get all the holes filled, you need to do some wiring, make it look alive. Looking good!

Drop me a line some time!
