You would be better contacting Aerotrader, they probably have a load on the shelf. Its where we bought our turret and parts from.

There is an example at Duxford in their Mk.X Lancaster.
I visited a few years ago and got inside so they well be able to accommodate you for a visit.
Good luck.

Can't help with bits, but that is a lovely looking turret.

If you're in the UK you can come and measure ours on its stand at East Kirkby

Thanks NX611 if I have no luck in the next few months and if I am in the area I will pop in with my tape measure! Also thanks to every one else for their kind remarks and suggestions.
