Does anybody know where I might obtain a deisel head for my Peewee?

DDD used to make them but don't do it anymore as far as I know. Ebay is one option, or you could possibly make one yourself using and old glow plug. If you use a metall membrane below the counter piston you don't need very accurate machining of the glow plug.

Thanks, thats a geat idea. I think I'll do that. Any Idea what the head thread size is?
Failing that I'll have to get another plug, a blown one would be great.

Thanks a die that size might be difficult locate here in the U.K.

Yes, it would probably have to be a custom die, even in the USA. If you were able to get one for $100/$150 that would be a good price.

If you are looking around also keep an eye out for one in the fractional form, 25/64-48

I did hear something recently about them being made again.
someone should Phone Bob D about them!

If you are really good with a lathe you can make any thread size and pitch you want. I haven't turned any threads since the machining class I took at the tech college 12 years ago.

Thats a great idea I have a pet turner. A sketch of thread form a picth would help.
