Try "foxmanufacturing(dot)com". They specialize in Fox engines and parts. 8)

Rusty, a seller on Ebay has many Fox parts. The seller's name is Flyingamodel. If you do a search for Fox engine parts you will see many of his auctions all which are "Buy it now" items. Ken

Thank you, Pete. I checked there and that is why I am here.
Thank you, Ken. I am headed to ebay now.
Cheers.
UUhhhh...Rusty,
Do you mean that you couldn't get any Fox parts from FOX Manufacturing...They make the things.
What's up with that? I would strongly recommend replacing the screws with 4-40 socket head cap screws instead of the strip head special things that Fox uses.

If you haven't, try a phone call. Not much is listed on the web site but they have a good record for supporting non-current engines. 8)

FIFY (fixed it for ya), Pete! I ordered, and received a bunch of parts for long, long, out of production Fox engines. Other than the cost, I was overjoyed. H^^ Steve

I found the phone call to be essential. They quickly found me a head for a '70s Big Case Fox .40 Stunt.

I went to Fox website. They had the 35 gaskets and bolts. However, I don't want to convert to 4-40 hex head bolts. I want to stay original. ( I know hex head is better.) They have nothing for the 19, 29, 36x or 59.
Fox has great service but the approach is still in 70s mode. You need to *call them on the phone* if you need something. Their website isn't very good, counter-productive in many cases.

The old stock screws were Philister head screws and can sometimes be found at good old fashioned hardware stores, or specialty fastener suppliers. And yes, I spelled that correctly. Philister head screws will have a Phillips type cross in them. Back plate gaskets are cork but can be easily made out of any kind of thick, soft paper gasket material found at auto parts stores. Head Gaskets are a soft aluminum, and they can be cut by hand with a sharp knife and repeating cuts. Cut the ID first, and you can cut the OD with sharp scissors even. Not that hard to do if you really need them, and practice makes perfect.
Type at you later,

Yeah Bill...the phone call is essential.
I really don't understand folks who ask the experts for help but simply won't take their advice and continue to do what doesn't work>>>
Beyond me!
