LED Dimmer - Not exactly where I bought but this is the unit but this is the one.  Lots of sellers on ebay for cheap.  I use about 4 of these:

This is a super excellent idea. It would be nice to make this post a sticky so it is always quickly available.

Thanks for posting your sources. Will be adding some soon as well.

If anyone needs long DVI-D cables (or other cables), here is a very good seller on e-bay with reasonable prices. I bought 25' cables from him and I am very happy with them.

Hey guys,

I purchased curtain products from this site . . . they have all the necessary curtain tracks, hooks etc. to cheaply make a cockpit curtain if your building a cockpit that does not use a door . . . or might be good for some of you guys that don't use a back wall.  This site has flexible track as well that will conform to the shape of your shell.

I found this site for DRY TRANSFER LETTERING in the U.S.   Really quick shipping.

Hi Guys.
I know you've mentioned the superbright store above for buying the 12 volt dimmers and I bought some from there.

Top quality and at 15 dollars each, some would say a real bargain.

However, I found another site from the UK that sells the same dimmers at a much reduced price than that.

I bought 4 dimmers and postage to brisbane Australia and had change from 20 dollars.

They are .99 pounds, which worked out about two bucks each at this end.

They took a few weeks to arrive, but they are identical to the others.

Quite a saving, my friends.

I came across this provider of IPECO seat covers for BBJs. I don´t know what they charge, since I have my own original seats, but maybe for one or the other here, that´s worth an inquiry. Scroll down their page.

Well, I inquired...

I asked for a price new, and if they had reject or overstocks available.  They have no rejects or damaged covers.  They do sell them new for:  $3,126.

If anyone wants the contact info, let me know.

For those in the US, Nick from the Airline pilot historical  society, provided me with new covers for my IPECO 737 seats. I think I paid around 1500 dollars for a pair and it took like 5 weeks to get them.

Nick is very helpful and a nice person.

Cheers

I haven't bought anything from this company so I can't vouch but they seem to have reasonably priced covers for IPECOs.
