Title: Identify this muffler please?
Post by: Avaiojet on April 22, 2020, 09:38:33 AM: I'm almost positive it's a FOX but I just want to be sure.

I don't want to misrepresent the item when I offer it for sale.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's for a Fox.

Thank you.

What car is that you have up, it's small and I cannot see it well?

Yes,

I'm convinced it's a FOX, same construction different footprint.

I'll post the whole spread measurement when I put it up for sale.

Post by: Steve Helmick on April 23, 2020, 01:13:09 AM: Could be a Faux Fox. I've never owned a Fox muffler, but I've seen them. Mostly used on OS FP/LA .35 > .46, or K&B .40's. The bolt patterns are close enough due to the 4-40 bolts vs. the 3mm bolts. The one Avaio has could be for one of the later bb .19/.25 cases. y1 Steve

Post by: Perry Rose on April 23, 2020, 05:23:43 AM: If the bolt hole spacing is 1.0625 +_ a foot ,in Fox talk, and the opening is 5/8 x 1/4 it will fit the .40.

Post by: Steve Helmick on April 23, 2020, 01:53:08 PM: Comparing the picture from Avaio and 944_Jim, and the fact that the latest .19/.25 would have (?) to adapt to both side and rear exhaust configuration, I'm thinking it's more likely for a 6 bolt backplate Fox .15...at least, I think they had 6 bolts...the tall backplate variety, anyway.

Post by: Peter in Fairfax, VA on April 23, 2020, 01:56:49 PM: My first thought was late model Fox .25, though c-c measurement is the way to get an answer.

Btw, Schnuerle .15 has a tall backplate, correct, four holes. The 36 Combat Special, six.

Post by: BillP on April 23, 2020, 02:47:25 PM: Last square back plate plain bushing Fox 25 and Fox 35 share the same muffler. Probably fits the same era square bp .19 too.
Last 45, 46 & 50 same
Last 60 & 74 same.

I thought this was a model airplane site, not a furriers site.
Bwahahaha...sorry, it just popped out!

Post by: Phil Spillman on April 23, 2020, 04:32:00 PM: Yes I too believe that these are for Fox .40 engines; one is a tilt up and the other is a tilt down two different designs both very effective.
