for what it's worth, you can remove the needle valve and the friction nut from the standard needle valve, and use a short 3-56 screw with some blue locktite on it to seal up the NV threads, and you have a spraybar compatible with a remote needle.

Thank you for information regarding the needle valve.

#3-56 aren't the most common screws out there, but they do exist.

Hope that helps broaden your search a bit, as the older engines like the short strokes tended to have the front mounted needle valves. At least my SS Nelsons do.

My SS Nelsons are set up with front mount needle valves, so if I ever drop them on a plane for anything I'll probably be doing the 3-56 screws and remote needles as well.

Cheers,
Gordon

There is a SS Nelson Q-40 engine on rc groups now, about page 5 of the engine for sale section.

Kevin,
Do you still need a SS Q40 engine? What size spinner is required for the plane you have?
