I do think your high jacking, but I'm going to ask Ian's forgiveness for my response to your post. Any further discussion should obviously moved to another thread. I don't think this is a good idea at all if I'm understanding you correctly. There is a fine line in reproductions and copying in my opinion and making a modern balance pipe that would interfear with the value and authenticity of a real used part bothers me. I strongly disagree with this and in all do respect I hope any attempts fail.
Ian I'm super excited to see the glamor shots of your Obi when it's all finished up. Being the master of grenades in these parts I'm excited to see which grenade you used.

I work for Rolls-Royce, In Bristol (UK) - you will not have any luck with this endeavor and most likely people might find it a tad odd or have no idea. Relatively modern things are hard enough to find, let alone very old parts.
I'm also involved in the heritage trust (your best bet - but they will probably ignore your requests) and was working for a time on the HOOS Facility Clear out - where we keep our old stock, used material and spare parts. There was nothing in there of any note or interest.
Any drawings of this age are usually held as paper copies in the archives - which are difficult to access.
Ninja - Lovely specimen there! Love this thread and catching up on all the real parts. Looking forward to seeing more videos and photos of the assembly of this one

Seems you are in the best position for this.
As far as I’m aware, USAF never used this engine, only P&W and GE during this era, so there won’t be any NSNs I could cross. The NSN is great because sometimes a warehouse is cleared as a lot and only the NSN identifies what’s in the box.

"The Child" from Sideshow with Neck & Arm MODS
I received my "The Child" from Sideshow with Neck & Arm MODS done by my buddy Chris teecrooz who had a little workshop going on when he was doing the MODS for both David Edraven99 and myself, I have Grogu displayed in the Army Hot Box & brown Baby Blanket I picked up a while back, I think the display looks sweet especially with the MODS allowing for the the head to tilt back & the posable arms.

3x NOS Vintage Ever Ready Pen Torches for the ESB Yoda Lamp
Awesome score.... I picked up with the help of my good buddy Markus OdiWan72 these 3x NOS Vintage Ever Ready Pen Torches still in the Retail Packages, the Lens is believed to have been used for the ESB Yoda Lamp and whilst I have found a few of these torches picking up 3x NOS in the Retail Packages is very very cool, one is going to Markus and the other to my buddy Colin db94 in the UK.

...just waiting for some parts to come in, so I can prepare several packages for shippingDistance between Scotland and Australia 9443 miles - but if you open your window you'll be able to hear my embarrassingly happy reaction
Should all happen this week
I remember my dad giving me one of those torches (white switch variant) when I was a kid (in the 80s)! No idea what happened to it, probably binned when it broke....
It's surprising just how many O/T items we remember from our childhood, if only we knew....
And now we spend our adult lives trying to track down the things we threw away as kids
The retort clamp was also used on the interrogation droid
