Default Glow head gaskets

Anyone have any idea where I can get some copper .049 glow head gaskets? Seems like everyone want s to sell you one for $10 with a glowhead thrown in as a bonus.

Thanks,

Rob

UH OH!!!!!!!!!! Airfield 2000 does not have them in stock. Does anyone know of a black market source for our much needed .o49 head gaskets?

Alarmist? Haven't you heard? Cox doesn't make IC engines anymore. Sold off all the tooling.

Rob,

I emailed Cox about this and I was told straight that Cox does not make engines and has not made engines for a long time. They only assemble engines from existing parts. A strange thing to say but there you have it. If you want parts, Sure Starts or production engines from them then I would suggest you not wait too long, by the sound of that.

The COX and NORVEL head gaskets are interchangable -- both the newer REVLITE and older AAN model NORVELs. Since the AP Wasp is a knockoff of the older NORVEL, those should work also.

Hobby People has the [link=http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/212427.asp]AP gaskets [/link] in stock -- 2 for .$90.

The world is an interesting place. Pretty soon we'll be back to rubber bands.

I had ordered head gaskets and BW tank venturi o-rings straight from Cox last year for around .25cent each.

Later,
Tim

Well my 1/2a BROTHERS have no fear Cox has plenty still. I just got off the phone with them...it looks like .049 head gaskets PN#487903(if I wrote it down right) packs of 12 for $4.99(*******s I know I paid .25 last year)so I guess that's around .41cents each. Order line is 877-269-9235.

Later,
Tim

Plus $7.99 shipping, so that's $1.08 ea.[:'(] Rob, unless you need great quantities, I'll stick a regular envelope in the mail with some in it. The envelope is already labeled, just gotta stick the gaskets in there this afternoon.

Don't be too thankful yet! I can't find my organizer![:@] It has all my glow plugs in it, too. A handful of Nelsons, two N. 074's, two N. 061's, and three or four TD heads. Where in world did I sit it?! All I did was clean up my flight box and repack it... a couple weeks ago. I think I'm going to cry. That and try to pull a hundred dollar bill out of my *** to replace it. Naw, I'll find it tonight. It will be easy if they're right next to the beer.
