Default Cox .020 parts question

Oh Great Beared Ones.... Please grant me this audience and entertain my question:


Are PeeWee and T.D. 020 cylinders interchangeable? I've got a bevy of PeeWees laying around that I want to scavenge for parts to use in a multi-cylinder project, but won't do it if they can be used as proper T.D. spares.


Whadya say?

Since 1992 the part # has been the same for both engines. #281 (Piston / Cylinder / T-Ring)was always the same for both.

For parts in a multi-cylinder... Doesn't matter what size I use, they just have to all be the same and I happen to have 5 or 6 unrun PeeWee's.

I had a V-twin Baby-Bee that I though would be really cool to port the geometry over to an 8 or 12 cylinder, but what really got me going is that there are 3 videos on YouTube of a G-Mark .30 radial running and it sounds cool as hell! I've got one and am torn as to what to do with it.... I decided this year that I am not a collector, I'm a 1/2A enthusiast so everything else has to go. Problem is that I didn't have the heart to let my babies go earlier this month on Ebay so I guess I have to fly it.

Maybe what I'll do is open it up and take a few measurements, build my own and then figure out what to do with it... This is what I originally intended to do with it.

Gotta do something, because after seeing them run on the videos I wanna start that baby up!

Dave

P.S. How hard is it to get/How long is the line for a Barnett radial?? Do the cylinders fire alternately or all at the same time?

The Barnette Radial is a true radial. Has a master rod and fires in a circle.
I may be doing a run of 10 Pee Wee geared twins.
