Zero Throttle

Zero throttle
Hi,
I am involved with the CAF Zero-sen in Camarillo. We are looking for an engineering drawing of the throttle, which someone broke. If we have to reverse engineer it we can, but that will add to the cost and time involved. Anyone got anything we can use?
Thanks

You could call ahead and then drive over to Chino to the Planes of Fame and look at ours. It is original and is working just fine.

If you call Steve Hinton at Fighter Rebuilders, he has the Zero manuals with all the drawings in them.

As you know, our Zero is an A6M5 Model 52, but I believe the throttles were almost all about the same, from the model 21 on up through the end of the A6M6 series.
