Trying to start a list of vendors for parts.Besides the vendors listed below, does any one that has or does not have an RAF or just a single character know of any more vendors that people can get parts from? Surly you folks that have been working on the RAF for some time must have a list of vendors that you can use if you need parts. So could you please help out by adding to the list for people.

In doing cylinder research I've found that the cylinders that are used on the show are slightly modified -- ie. the clevis hole is larger than stock parts or the thread is different than stock. The exception of course is Cylinders and Valves which is one of the original providers of brass cylinders and their parts should match up exactly to what you need. The only Bimba ones I can get online are the smaller ones such as Eyelid cylinders which do match.
I contacted a vendor about Chicago cylinders and they did have the part information in the computer but I would need to order 100 for them to do a special run of the non-stock parts.

If anyone has more information please let me know!
