K&B Torpedo 29 ignition Timer wtd.

Postby raglafart » Mon Mar 12, 2007 12:58 am

Hi
I have an early 1946 spark ignition K&B torpedo "B" 29. The serial number is very low # 379
It's in great mechanical shape, but it's missing the timer assembly.
Can anyone help with a timer assembly please.
Are the O&R timers interchangeable?
Cheers John

John , Did a little more checking & Burnis Ray has a timer listed in his parts book. # R-KB5105 w/arm . My book is a little old but he shows a price of $45.00 . E-mail at BurnisR@aol.com MAX H.

Not sure if it's the one you're after, but check it out anyway.

Also, Shilen Aerosports ed15char@aol.com may have reproductions. The one I got from him years ago worked fine and looks great.
