NASA Spacesuit fittings - High fidelity replicas

Hello Imgill,


I just watched the three episodes about your shop and the space suits on Adam Savage’s channel.


What I took away from it: a passionate man, an artist — and, as we say down here in the south of France, a "fada" (of course, not in the negative sense!).


I would really love to visit you someday…
Maybe one day — who knows?


In any case, congratulations on such a truly fascinating tour.
Wishing you all the best moving forward!
 
Finally got fittings back from the anodizer.....but, some of them are too dark and dull, so they have to to be redone.

But here is a sneak peek at the range of fittings we made. (around 2500 individual parts)
These include:
Apollo A6L gas (tops)
Apollo A7L gas (left & right)
Apollo A7L Water block 3 spring
Apollo A7Lb gas (with undercut)
Apollo A7Lb Water block single spring
Apollo Plenum in with diverter (left & right)
Apollo Straight plenum out
Apollo A7Lb cage-Aluminum (for back of outlet)
Apollo A7Lb Cage- Plastic (to go over aluminum cage)
Apollo electrical fitting
Apollo coolant loop (water fitting)
OCSS gas inlet (blue)
OCSS plenum in
OCSS gas outlet (red)

All of these parts are interchangeable with real Apollo era fittings. I know a number of collectors, who have suits with no fittings, or who have partial fittings, which we can now complete for them.
