help needed with Vampire

Greetings one and all.

Firstly apologies for the cold call. I have been pointed in your direction as possible help with a Vampire T11 which is about to get airborne again in the USA.

A friend has just had a pair of Mk 3b seats rebuilt and installed (by Martin Baker service agents) in his T11.
The a/c has been more or less rebuilt from the chocks up.

HOWEVER.....Small problem.

On the Mk 3b seat , the emergency O2 bottles are held to the front of the dingy pack in a "sleeve". These are not service critical as the O2 bottles could be fixed to the front of the packs by other means. But it would be nice (as the seats are like new) to have the dimensions , drawing , or a photo of the genuine article. The system will work as advertised as is, but my friend would like a genuine looking article.
Better still, could someone lend me a genuine seat pack from a 3b for us to reverse engineer the sleeve and fix to the packs as provided?

I would return the pack undamaged to you shortly.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks in anticipation
