Bailout bottle An aviation bailout bottle is a small oxygen cylinder connected to the oxygen mask supplying several minutes of oxygen. It can be used in case of primary oxygen system failure or if an emergency bailout at high altitude became necessary.
The DeLorean TimeMachine as seen in Back to the future features a bailout bottle on the left side of the bulkhead shelf. It's not a fire extinguisher bottle as you might think.
Full accurate 1:8 scale replica. Replaces stock parts 54B (bailout bottle) and 54D (box)
Features:
- accurate measurements for bailout bottle, fitting and pull handle (ball)
- accurate measurements for the box where the bailout bottle is placed on
- accurate slight rotation of the bottle box on the box
- accurate jubilee clips featuring slots that allow you to insert 0.1mm photoetched bands that look exactly like the real thing without adding any bulk to the model. Here is the link to the right bands to use: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/club-barchetta-bp-232-hose-band-detail-up-parts-1-12-1-20-1-24--955867
- accurate jubilee clips screw rotation that match the restored A-car DeLorean
- solves the problem of the stock bailout bottle touching our custom Flux Capacitor oxygen meter stickers available through me (send me a message)
- 1.2mm hole in the end of the fitting allowing you to attach a 1.0mm or 1.1mm hose / wire
- hole in the fitting to accomodate the following braided wire that needs to be stripped of the insulation: https://www.ebay.com/itm/QUALITY-1-x-50-METER-ROLL-REEL-OF-0-45mm-TIGER-TAIL-JEWELLERY-BEADING-WIRE-W2/352369583371
Compass plug As a bonus I've included the compass plug that's present on the dashboard behind the compass. Designed to work with 0.28mm outer diameter wires in order to be accurate.
