Description
Engine display stands fit Cox .049 engines as listed below: Engine mount 1 - Standard extruded crankcase with "postage stamp" type back plate, .049 engines Engine mount 2 - Standard extruded crankcase with "horseshoe" type back plate, .049 engines The Cox Engine Display Mount is the new way to display your collectable antique Cox engines. This unique design allows the engine to be placed onto the display stand easily & securely without the need for additional mounting hardware. It also offers an unobstructed view of the entire engine so that key identifying features don't get covered. I've collected Cox engines for years & have always struggled to find ways to neatly display them. I made many display stands with wire but it's difficult to make multiples that are uniform & even. This design addresses the challenge of displaying the the postage stamp & horseshoe type back plates that don't have mounting holes as well - which is where the inspiration came from. After many attempts, I have designed a stand that will work for both of these engines. Other display stands on the market require additional mounting hardware, tools, time, they cover the back of the engine (which is not desirable, especially for collectors), & can't accommodate postage stamp & first series horseshoe back plates. Different types of engines are mounted at different heights so they also don't line up evenly. The Cox Engine Display Mount will securely & evenly display your engines in a simple, easy to use way. If you would like to learn more, check out the interesting Wiki on the Cox model engine: Cox model engines are used to power small model airplanes, model cars & model boats. They were in production for more than 60 years between 1945 & 2006. The business is named for founder Leroy (Roy) M. Cox. He started L.M. Cox Manufacturing Co. Inc, which later became Cox Hobbies Inc., then Cox Products, before being sold to Estes Industries, when it became Cox Models. On February 7, 2009, Estes Industries stopped producing Cox engines & sold all of their remaining inventory - mainly spare parts - to several private buyers from Canada & the US. One of the new owners of the remaining Cox engine & parts inventory has launched a website[1] with an online store. Millions of engines were produced. They became the most common 1/2A Class 0.049 cubic inch engine in the world, & probably still are today. Although the production of the engines ceased some years ago, engines made as far back as the 1950s are still sold "as new" & are in abundance on eBay worldwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_model_engine Cox Engine Display Mount | Secure Stand Screw-Less Install
