Really cool Bernie! A permanent solution to aging plastic tanks.
Re: Aluminium fuel tanks for Cox Tee Dee .010 & .020

I can just see you filing one down paper thin and weighing the shavings on your scale.

I have posed the question to the chap in Germany but don't expect to hear back today due to the time difference.
He has also designed some really nice 010 and 020 alu carb bodies but pricing will be too high for us to resell.
Re: Aluminium fuel tanks for Cox Tee Dee .010 & .020
Nice and shiny Looks Good! Weight and price will bee a factor well for me anyway . but i do like !!

Are the mounting holes the same? or will a model need to be wider?
Re: Aluminium fuel tanks for Cox Tee Dee .010 & .020
I'll take 2 of each when available! And if there is any possible way to get a hold of those great aluminium carb. bodies i'll do 2 of those each too!!

We don't know, sorry but will ask.

Great!
However, we will not be getting the carb bodies because, at over $20 / each, we don't expect them to sell. Besides, we already have an 020 version here: https://coxengines.ca/cox-.020-carburetor-body-red.html
Re: Aluminium fuel tanks for Cox Tee Dee .010 & .020
The milled aluminum tanks do add a touch of class to these micro Tee Dees and the added volume is certainly welcomed, anticipated availability date?

Guessing a month or so but will update when we hear back from the vendor.
Re: Aluminium fuel tanks for Cox Tee Dee .010 & .020
Yes they are nice but we don't want to invest capital into something that will likely not sell at what we would have to charge for them. However, we have no problem ordering these, together with the tanks, if someone prepays them.

Is there an o-ring used for the tank to crank case seal?

Sign me up for four sets of tanks and carb bodies. (all bare aluminum.)
The vendor offered the 010 parts in red and black and the 020 parts in red but I don't see why we couldn't get them in silver. You were looking for 0210 or 020 or both?

Good question and don't know the answer. There is an o-ring around the backplate shown in one of the pics we got.
Re: Aluminium fuel tanks for Cox Tee Dee .010 & .020
We are still finalizing pricing (dependent on quantities) and shipping cost but the carb bodies would be in the $20 range and the tanks in the mid$30's.
Re: Aluminium fuel tanks for Cox Tee Dee .010 & .020
Now this is something! Mark me down for 1 in each size Bernie

Tanks?
For tanks there is no need to preorder as we will bring in a supply and post here when available. It is just the carb bodies that we are leery of because of the high price; hence asking for preorders on those.
But then perhaps we are off the mark here and they will sell at such a high price-point.
Re: Aluminium fuel tanks for Cox Tee Dee .010 & .020
I was just interested in the tanks for now Bernie.
