- I have most of an old Fox 40BB ("Golden forty") dating from the mid 60's.
- This motor was incredibly powerful in it's day and I used it in a series of
- very fast open combat models. Over the years I have "lost" the piston and
- liner, con rod and "wrist pin". I am interested in restoring this motor.
- My question is this, are these parts likely to be still available? I understand
- that Duke Fox died recently. From what I have been told he was the type of
- person who would have been interested in helping achieve this restoration. Has
- Fox Engines changed? Does anyone know their address or fax number? Please post
- any replies.
