Default need in cowl header for os 120III

Hey guys, i have a hanger 9 blue nose p 51 with an os 120 surpasIII pumped and cant seem to find a 90 degree in cowl header for that engine. Does anyone know of one that will work?


Thanks,
Joe Morrison

I cut a series of slots on the inside of the standard header, pulled the
bend tighter then had them welded up again.

For exactly the same reason as you, to fit the standard exhaust in a cowl.
Mine was in a radial cowl, the muffler now runs almost vertically beside the cylinder. - John.

this one should work for that engine http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...9&I=LXCA97&P=K it doesn't screw into the head directly,I believe you need to screw this piece http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCL84&P=Z into the head so the 90o header works with the Surpass III you might want to call Tower just to be sure.

I have both engines and I checked to see if the joint piece fits and it does, I also checked to see if the SP III header fits in the older engine when the joint is removed and it does as well so the parts are compatible with the right combo of parts.

I thought I had the 90o header for that engine but its late here on the west coast and I didn't want to go foraging in my shop and wake the kids up trying to find it
