Where can i find USAAF Seat Type Parachute Harness?

[Lee-AVG]

i don't want the canopy/parachute (i can fill the seat pack container with paper or foam, just only the seat type parachute harness and seat pack container (repro or original), such as S-1, S-2, S-5 or AN 6510 etc, because the complete set (with parachute) costs over 1500 USD and for me too expensive.

many thanks
best regards
Lee

My chest pack and harness came from Bob Bayshaw's Vintage Parachutes and I am bowled over with the great quality. it is better to have a serviceable looking piece of flight safety equipment as part of a living history ensemble than a ratty piece of vintage stuff that looks like it would not protect the user I think. pristine is not good but light to moderate use does the trick.
I just wish he still did back type chutes. a nice B8 would be good for me to supplement the chest type I have.

have a look at AMS military sales (a shop in Belgium) you can find most of the parts to make one complete
last year i bought a usaaf life raft cover for about 50$ ,you can order via internet and the shop owner is English

good luck

I'm interested in finding a WW2 parachute assembly too, not necessarily with the parachute intact. So I am following this thread with interest.
