These will work but they require the venturi area a bit so you get better fuel draw be less power then the ones that Randy S sells that have the same end diameter but a reduced center to match the original FOX NVA diameter.

Looks like they include some sort of plastic washers for each end. Maybe that works, but I tried that (not with RSM plastic washers), and the entire spraybar turned when I was adjusting the NV. Not what you want, OBTW.  n1 Steve

No, he doesn't.   I called and asked him before Christmas.

My original Super Tigre NVA Fox 35 ran great.  If drilling the case to get it in was needed, and it restricted the venturi a bit, I didn't mind.  Fuel draw, economy were great.  I miss that engine.  Also had a good fitting chip muffler.  Probably a 50th or 60th Anniv.  Thought I'd never fly Fox 35 again.  Now I am rigging advanced trainers setup for Fox.

Back to the NVA, I'd say an original Super Tigre or an RSM would be fine, even an Enya if that's your style.
