Does anyone recognize these parts? I purchased them years ago, and I think they were for the TeeDee engines. The bore is right at .247" measured with a digital caliper. the dimensions of the block are .500" x .314" x .185" and the needles are 1.125" long.

They're still available thru Texas Timers.

I believe these may have been originally produced by Joe Klause (Kustom Kraftsmanship), however, there are a bunch of guys here with a much better knowledge of COX history than me.

Those are fine thread needle valves(128 tpi) for Tee Dees than run on pressure bladders. $15 for a needle valve assembly, and spare needles are $5 each at Texas Timers. I have them on two of my planes. I was thinking Dale Kirn, but I'm not a historian either.
Nice, a handful of them.

I concure. They are KK. Ace made them also, but they were round and colored blue. I get mine from Texas Timers also.

Everybody's right!

Dale Kern (Kern Kraft) was the first, sold to Joe Klause who changed name (Kustom Kraftsmanship) now the guys in Texas has 'em. Kern also made the blue ones for Ace.

Here''s one on my Tee Dee .051. I got that Tee Dee from my LHS. In the box was the old needle assembly and a pressure backplate.

I'll buy one to try if you want to sell one.
