Engine mounts aluminum Fox MK 4 C/S fuel fittingsedited#0 source
I need a couple of aluminum motor mounts for Fox MK 4 combat engine. Also years ago there was fuel nipple that screwed into case for bladder feed. I don't know if Fox made them or K&B. Thet have a sweep to them and are black in color. I had some but they have not been found. I have two but on different engines. Also need some long bolts to mount them. <2 1/4" long 4/40 and 6/32.

Dan, I know the part your describing and I've tried Fox for that part and the needle valve with no luck. The Mk3 used the same part in which it came with a fine needle which was a two part body and the other needle worked with the restrictor. In the event your using your engine with pressure, I found a real simple method. I take a piece of WD-40 straw and heat the end with a heat gun. The first inch usually bends perfectly into a ninety deg. I trim the straw which leaves me a elbow 1/2" on one end and about 1" on the other. Use the pink small fuel tubing and insert a 1/4" piece into the case. Put the straw into the tubing which will give you a snug fit. Connect the other end to a remote needle and off you go. I know a lot of people that just JB weld or epoxy a small piece of tubing into the case. I prefer not to get adhesive on the case which is also threaded there. This method works very well. As for the other holes, I believe they may be 10-32 or 8-32, I just fill them with nylon wing bolts cutting them so they don't protrude into the case. Ken

Ken I have seen this on other engines. i have a Johnson setup for bladder with brass tubing similar but it doess't bend as easy. The WD -40 straw works and may go that route. The metal mounts will be more of a challange.

OK , We give up!!
Update : found a couple of sets and some long bolts. The fittings are 10/32 for fuel feed. fox made them and K&B had brass ones very similar. the K&B fitting were for marine use.
Cheers,Dan
