They are custom made to fit my cockpit which has specific throttle bar lengths etc but not a problem because you can have a set custom made. I will send you the design file and you can go from there to make modification to suit your needs :).
Chris
Nice one Chris, no rush matey, thought that they looked really good so thought I would ask!
Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
Alex
howz your setup coming along, is all going to plan?
Chris
Yeah its coming along slowly, nothing can be furthered until I get the panels sprayed, I have £500 still to pay for me holiday in majorca at end of august, so looks like It will be finished after then. Apart from that I have everything and all the parts ready to put together. My CNC panels are top class, got the leo bodnar card and LED card all sorted, encoders working, led's working with the default cessna in fs9. Radio stack is pretty much a goflight module for now until I can get something better! Just need to save up for the spray jobby!
All the best!
Alex
Cool! Dont worry about that radio system, I have an engineer working on that right now :)

Combined Audio / AP panel the will do ADF / DME board next. Still sticking with HomeSim for the Com/Nav and Transponder.

Alex,
It was pretty easy to interface the real TPM cables I got used from ebay. By the time you get the parts custom machined, you might be better off to just use the real thing with some 100 mm slide pots, angle brackets, cable clamps, plumbers tape and bobby pins as I did.
What are you using for your warning panel and OMI lights?
For the throttles, as it stands I am using a 60mm slide pot which is attached to a small bracket, the bracket then screws into the MIP tightly with a thin nut. A 6mm rod then passes through this. The throttle knob is attached to the rod. Pretty much as you say it but without the real throttle assemblies but with real throttle knobs!
To fit the original knobs you will need a 6.35mm (1/4 inch) rod otherwise the thread grip is a bit loose. The thread type is a terrible rare one too, my engineer had to purchase a die specifically for the job.

It took a bit longer to happen than expected but the glareshield mould is now complete and ready to produce!

Hopefully by this weekend there will be a final product to show
