lol how did you come across that?Jason_WI wrote:Here is something not seen everyday. It's packaged as a Cox TD tank mount but it's an unfinished PeeWee tank. The inside of the tank is turned but the reed portion is unfinished. This is a factory sealed package.
you could make a decent metal backplate for a td 020

Darned summertime trainees
That's definitely a collectors item, kinda like a stamp with a printing error.
I wonder how many they packages and sent out before somebody figured out that the wrong bushel of parts was brought to packaging dept. But hey, the screws seem correct!

Re: Cox TD tank mount not what it seems.
We once bought a dozen of what we thought to be the TD tank/mount only to find these when the parts arrived...must have been from the same packaging.
My fault for not requesting a picture prior to agreeing to purchasing them

Re: Cox TD tank mount not what it seems.
I wonder if it was an "Estes Special".
What if you drill some holes in it to mount it to a Tee Dee .020 crankcase. You can have a Tee Dee .020 front end on a Pee Wee style tank.
Interesting collectors item otherwise.

Re: Cox TD tank mount not what it seems.
At first I thought it might have an enlarged/threaded front-end, to screw into the case.. but there's no radial mount-ears. They'd also have to line-up squarely to the engine when tight, in order to get at the firewall screws. It would be lightweight though.. and a nice accessory for mounting a Tee Dee where a reedy had been.

Looks like Cox found a way to get rid of unfinished parts. It is unique.

Re: Cox TD tank mount not what it seems.
That is pretty wild that the quality control didn't catch it or the packaging person who probably didn't have a clue . You think Leroy may have had a few the heck with it days Hey i just found a fuel pick up spring on the floor its going to bee a good day . getback
