Need help in identifying P47 parts

Dear all,

I have some parts of a Thunderbolt P47 and I was wondering if someone could help me with the identification of them or perhaps know someone who can help me.

Here they come!

I think this one is clear, the head of a piston.


A couple of pieces plexiglass, probable of the canopy.


Looks like some sort of rudder or handle, maybe for the flaps or to eject? Can the ring be asbestos?


Guess this can be anything... Note the electric wire.


A piece of the rubber fuel tank.


This is a rather large piece and is very heavy, maybe some sort of exhaust pipe?


Again a large piece of aluminium, can be anything I guess.


I have no idea what this can be, but it sure is heavy!


It seems it is made of cast iron (?).


If you need some more pictures of a specific part, just let me know!
Thanks in advance!

The last two pics may be part of the landing gear & trunnion fittings, due to the weight.

Regards,
Mike

Re: Need help in identifying P47 parts

Dennis you could also post this over on the Flypast forums. There are quite a number of people on there who work with warbirds and also WWII aircraft recovery.
