Does anyone have a source for these? Are they lamp supplies? Need to finish off some of my mods...
Thanks..
Thanks..
#12 works perfect for the extended screw on connectors. #14 is good for the flush mount (epoxy type) connectors, but you wont be able to screw on a tank if you do this. Best way is to use a #12 finish washer and a threaded extended connector with a nut, like this eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
Para's idea is a nice one, but you need to be aware of the fact that juice reacts with brass and turns green! Thats why I decided to use nickel plated finish washers.
The #14 is too large for the AA battery boxes that many folks use..... . As for finishing washers ,why does everyone use #12 ? The #14 washers are a perfect fit for a 510 batt connector . The #12 is too small and needs to be drilled out .

A note about those ext. connectors, I bought them. The insulators are the best I've seen, HOWEVER... the treads suck_, I've stripped everyone of them. Threading on connector does not have enough height.
...I take a large side flat punch, and I flatten out the middle of the washer so the 510 connector sits straight on it. Doing this also makes the inside of the finish washer larger so it can hold more juice. If you dont do this, it will be very hard to thread on the 510 connector since the threads arent very long. Ill try to post a pic showing the before and after.
Mv, nice job with the punch, man this needed pics to understand
The brass aren't more than plated either, so just as easy. Are you implying the real secret to getting these just right is to do it on a glass desk?
Thanks for the pics mv!
I wouldn't worry about it. Anyone who has used a bottom feeder with atties always has liquid in contact with the brass of the atty itself. You are basically filling up the brass base first, then sucking it up, right?Question ,why does the reo woodville have a brass drip cup if it turns green .I havent heard anybody complain about it on the reo .
