Glow head with no thread

[Dizzyman2011]

Hey guys was just looking at my spares box when I remembered I have a strange glow head in there still in packet
Now it looks identical to an 049 head but with no thread at all looks like it was supposed to be like that is this a manufacturing error or is it for a different engine sorry cant post a pic as can't find anyway of doing it on my iPhone can send pics via email though
Maybe someone can shed some light on the situation!!!

Do you mean threads or cooling fins? There is/was a car version that was smooth, in order to clamp a larger cooling head on it.

[Dizzyman2011]

Hey no it has fins - heat sink but has no thread to wind it in to the barell !!!! This has stumped me for some time now got it at a swap meet about 10 years ago as on first look thought it was a cox head

Apologies just opened packet to find it hasn't got any cooling fins or thread !!!!
It has g2 medium on the packet number 2 stamped on the plug and normal filament inside sorry when looking through the old packet looked like it had cooling fins

Looks not like the before mentioned # 335 car glow head.

Just made out on the old packet
"Rossi" googled it but no luck with pictures apparently Rossi did make a .049 but doesn't seem to be much info out there does the #335 have no thread then ?

Hey Dizzymen,

the #335 head has a thread and was used on the cox gtp and some Kyosho r/c cars.

Here is a picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1FIN-335-SM.JPG

Sorry I can't help with your glow head

I am pretty sure that is a Rossi .15 insert style plug used on their control line engines.

Yes, it could well be for the Rossi .15 engine. The cox conquest (.15) also has a very similar glow head that is held with a ring and four screws.
