Cloned High Compression Glow Head
Anyone remember these from a few years back? Sold on eBay as Bruce Duncan cloned heads around 2006.

I don't know. These were sold in the day where the original #1702 TD heads were very scarce. I did like these cloned heads, they did work but I would rather use a real #1702 head. I remember talking to that Bruce Duncan a few years ago and he did say they were made to order in a min amount of 1000 pcs from CS Engines in Asia. I never made the attempt to contact CS Engines but apparently the heads were dirt cheap to order.
Re: Cloned High Compression Glow Head
K&B has some good high compression heads. http://www.mecoa.com/cox/index.htm I think they are sold out right now but they should be in stock soon. I know that K&B has been working on .010, .020, .09, .15... heads for awhile.
Re: Cloned High Compression Glow Head
i do remember those. the guy had like 5000 of them and sold all of them in a 3 month span. I remember reading about it on rcu. he didnt order them again because they were a huge hassle to package and ship the mass amount of orders

I tried to contact cs engine about their mills 0.375cc engine on a side note my little valentine engine arrived today it's a reall pert.
Re: Cloned High Compression Glow Head
Yes, the heads are ones that Bruce Duncan from Vancouver had made in China.
Bruce put us into contact with the manufacturer a few years ago and they have made various parts for us including TD glow heads; whereas we supplied all the OEM Cox parts (except the filament) and they pressed them and staked the filament they sourced.

No idea lol. I just met him once when he showed up at our office with several impressively made Venom clones (from China).

Re: Cloned High Compression Glow Head
We purchased the remaining Cox inventory, including over 35,000 engines. We originally received about 1,000 complete Tee Dee heads and enough parts to make a few thousand more. When we run out of parts we will simply make new parts since we have the Cox drawings.
We already made the 020 heads from scratch - no problem

No, no tooling here. We are strictly e-commerce distributors.
We have manufactured something like 80 different parts so far but are having the manufacturing and moulding done through machine shops, moulders, laser shops, etc.

Re: Cloned High Compression Glow Head
Ok Bernie,
I was only wondering because there is a man who lives in Canada call Adrian Duncan and he is quite well known (or at least his name pops up a lot) In vintage engine discussions and I saw his name on the box of a Valentine blitz 0.05cc (0.003 cu in) diesel engine.

A little off topic, but one of the things that gets lost first on the older Cox engines with the threaded shaft is the Acorn nut used as a prop nut. Many of these were replaced with a standard nut. I had three Space Bug Juniors and a Thermal Hopper that were missing these Acorn nuts. Bernie to the rescue! He not only has replacements, but they come with a threaded shaft so they can also be used on more modern Cox engines.
