Hi Mike,
I can't help much but here's a little info.
If you can't get the back windows from Lancair,
try LP Aero Plastics, Jeanette, Pennsylvania. (800) 957-2376, windshields@lpaero.com . I
believe that they were the original manufacturers of the windows for the 320.
They're good people and have been very helpful to me.
As far as the hydraulic system, either Lancair or
Oildyne (the pump manufacturer) should be able to supply the pump and
reservoir. The pressure switches are readily available from Lancair and the
rest of the plumbing is standard tubing and fittings available from Spruce or
any other supplier.
Right side rudder pedals were an option. Your kit
may never have had them. I don't have right rudders in mine and have never
missed them. When Sue is flying, it gives me more leg room in the right
seat.
The wing tip lens was also not standard
equipment. Many of us just used the Whelen Nav/strobe/taillight combo on our
wingtips. The lenses are a little more aerodynamic and look a bit better but
are, of course, a bit more work to make.
You don't even want the original brake master
cylinders. They had internal reservoirs and were leaky and hard to fill. The
newer "laydown" cylinders with separate brake reservoir are a big improvement.
Consider yourself lucky to have lost the originals (my opinion
only).
If you can find a long engine mount, get it. I
concur with several other LML opinions on that subject.
Hope that this little bit of info helps. Welcome
to the world of airplane building!

As a new 320/360 builder of kit #546 (4th
owner) I came away from the purchase with a few items missing. Next
time at taking ownership of a kit, I'll do a thorough inventory, even if it
is snowing and the wife and helpful friend are freezing. Anyone in the group
with info on locating the following would be sincerely appreciated.
Needed: A complete (or individual components)
hydraulic system including the pump, reservoir, plumbing, switches, etc. Or
maybe I'll get lucky and you know where mine has wandered off too in the
Northern Utah area. Also need the two aft windows, preferably light grey in
color. These may be with the already mounted bulkhead hydraulic
assembly. As well, the right side rudder pedal assembly and brake cylinders
took a hike with the previously mentioned items. And lastly, the wing
tip lens flew the coop.
As part of my current Lancair learning curve, I
have ended up with a mis-match of engine and engine mount. I have a
nice white short mount of the Dynafocal #2 type. I would like to
find for trade or purchase the short (or long) Dynafocal #1 mount. Took
a while to educate myself with the help of the Lancair folks regarding
engine mounts, isolators, cowling styles and design changes to make, but
it's all clear(?) now! Thanks in advance for any help with my treasure
hunt.
