Re: Ringmaster Jr. Build.
Only a couple things left to do.
I reworked the tank this morning. It's a Brodak and it was a little too long so I shortened it so it would fit. I took the pickup tube from the top and soldered it to the bottom. I also soldered the pickup tube to the corner of the tank. Flushed/brushed with alcohol and pressure checked it.

Re: Ringmaster Jr. Build.
Good going. I need to get less reluctant to do tin tank work. Is that a Fox .15?

Re: Ringmaster Jr. Build.
It is the Fox. Even though it is light weight it's still heavy. Another choice would have been a Cox .09. That would require a major nose rework.
I do have a Fox .10, it's lighter, but not overly common and It has an integrated glow plug/head. The bolt pattern is the same as the .15, but no spare head makes it almost unuseable.

Could you get the .10 head tapped for Nelson plug?Cribbs74 wrote:

Yeah, thought about that. If I had a burnt out one that would be ideal.
I also have no idea what it performs like. I think Fox rebadged the .10 hustler.
