Fox Restoration - Parts Questions

[Davecul]

Hello

Just got my first real resto project in the post and I had a few questions about 'compatible' parts as some of the ones I'll need seem to be in short supply.

It is a runner but the gear box didn't feel right so, of course, I took it to bits.

Things I discovered needed replacing...

Cog marked as 'Counter Gear' (0445036) in the instructions (missing two teeth on the smaller part of the gear)

Number 4 from the D Parts tree (held together by the wheel and magic on one side!) (look like what was used before hexes I guess?)

Number 8 from the A parts tree (basically old and tired!)

I realise the last one is probably specific to the Fox but I wondered if the first two could be got from parts trees/bags that come with other kits?

Ebay has screw bags and B parts a plenty so that's not a problem, and I think I'll get a teambluegroove body as I've seen a post on here which said they were ok for runners.

It has a body and wing, but the body is broken at the back so the wing doesn't stay on any more, which is a shame as otherwise I'd strip the paint and re-spray, it's mostly ok.

Finally, does anyone know if there a reproduction sticker sets available?

That's all for now, I'm sure there will be more!

Thanks,

Dave

The Fox had a unique chassis design and shared very few parts with any other cars.

The 'A' and 'D' parts trees were specific to the Fox as was the gear set and not shared with other models.

As for the stickers I am still on the lookout for a good set of reproductions myself.

for good repro stickers, contact Stickerbod on here. I have a set on one of my Fox's, and they are fantastic!

Amusingly you have pretty much everything except the stuff I need

I'll keep your shop book-marked though, I'll probably get some new front tyres at some point

Cheers for everyone's hints and tips so far,

Dave
