Help finding air spaced tuning capacitor..

[jiggysmb]

I have been on a hunt for air spaced tuning capacitors, but can not find them. I was even reffered to a guy in the UK that supposedly stocked everything & he only offered I got to rallies in the UK. I dont think I can justify a trip to the UK for a few tuning capacitors to my wife

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot! but they seem to be too large for my application. Here are 2 pics of some that have come with some kits I ordered.

Are you shure you need air spaced capacitors? Your pictures shows: red-ceramic and yellow-foil insulator. These are ordinary low cost cap trimmers.

They look very ordinary and they are not air spaced caps.
The red on can be of muRata series, cpacitance value 4.2pF - 20pF,
the other on looks like 5.5pF - 65pF of BC Components.
Both can be ordered from RS Components or Farnell-INone ..

Thanks guys! I thought I had to be looking for the wrong thing. I guess the documentation that came with the kit I purchased is a bit out dated
