045 engine

know what model you are talking about  
   but I don't have this engine to compare with others but I have already used Cox parts on other models with a little ingenuity everything is possible this spitzy use a cox spray bar and neadle
but for the sake of keeping the original I think it would be good to find the right part

[quote="Coxfledgling"]There is an 045 learnt listed on the Cox info section on the sites left side.

Learnt something new today.

Cox international ?

Exmodelengines ?

Dens model supplies to UK ?

I have no idea as to needle hole size or thread pitch but there may be the info in the engine section in the left columb of the site, below today's thread names etc ..

Hi thanks for getting back to me I've tried cox international and awaiting a reply I will try the others you mentioned there is very little info on these engines which I think is strange bearing in my the engineering that goes into them

045 ?

yes I'm in Hartlepool in the UK I've started restoring tether cars aswell as vintage diecast but realising getting hold of parts is a lot more difficult than I imagined

That's the engine I can't find much info out about it I can't even find a picture of the mysterious needle valve, no spec info its like looking for a needle in a haystack but I'll keep trying

I've just had confirmation back from cox International that the 049 tanked needle valve can be used as a substitute for the 045 engine

The one on the Left is the .045 other is Spacebug Jr. It is very close

it does look very similar though I wonder if it would fit

It wants to screw in about 2 turns but the hole is old castor gummed and can't tell if it the gum or trying to cross thread ??

Mabe look a tee dee neadle mabe fit's its not very long neadle ??

That is screwed in about 6 turn the SBJ will fit , the original will only go in 3.5 turns . I you don't have one we see if we can find you one closer to home .

ye that's the one they have recommended same needle valve with a longer reach so happy days I've ordered one and it's on its way oh while I was on to cox I asked if they do any parts for 045 engine sadly they don't but at least I can restore the one I have or will have when it arrives from America
