DB 605 part identification

[woodhaven]

Hello everyone - I hope someone will help me identify this part, please?

I don't think that the object is an egine part but instead a model-specific tool that's related to the G series.

The four arrows look to be reference (alignment?) points.

Hi Sturmi,
This indeed an important part of the DB605 engine on the Bf109G. It is the control cam for the propellor rpm governor that controls propellor pitch. It is fitted on the top of the engine at the rear gear housing. A nice piece!

Hi,
I can add a little more detail. This cam is connected to the link from the Throttle controls. It is, as it is stamped, particular to the engine and aircraft type, because it matches the profile of the desired engine and propeller combination. The two arrows at the left above the DB letters are the 2800 and 2600 rpm settings. The two arrows on the right side are the throttle fully closed range. These alloy cams seem to survive quite well because they are anodised. However, the bracket they fix on is lightweight and is usually mashed in a crashed engine in the ground. The speeder-cup type governor that these fit on is magnesium and, it is almost always corroded away, so, it is rare.
