I'm glad you're diggin' it, buddy.
I use Micro Mesh when I am doing the final finish on my turned pens. When I noticed the black spot starting on my firing pin I used the Micro Mesh, started with the 3600 and went all the way to 12000, it looks brand new not one sign that it was ever sanded. I have been using the same set of pads for close to three years when they get clogged up they can be put into a bag and run through a washing machine.
Hey, Glassman! Good to see you, buddy!
Good info on the MM.
Still got a few Delrin buttons to make.....

Excuse the dumb question here - (this thread is a bit of a monster to hunt through ) will the silver negative contact make much of a difference to mod performance or is to keep it performing the same as it does wjth a brass contact, but with less maintenance?

In theory, the silver should hit harder, due to the fact that it is more conductive than brass.
It should also be less maintenance.

Can I please be added to the list for one? I've been searching back pages but can't find it. This may also be due to the fact that's it's past midnight here and I'm just about ready to fall asleep
Is it also possible to grab some spares (510 pin and some positive contacts) at the same time once my name comes up please

The 510 pin is not something you need to worry about wearing out or breaking on these mods, especially if you specify stainless steel rather than brass.Is it also possible to grab some spares (510 pin and some positive contacts) at the same time once my name comes up please
The positive contact does flex a bit when firing, but the part that flexes is made of Be-Cu, which is a properly springy material, and I don't recall ANY reports of failure so far. That said, I do own a couple of spares, since it's the only part of this mod I think that MIGHT fail in a lifetime of use.
Rossum is right, really nothing to worry about letting go. If anything a positive contact and you should be good to go for years. Now the only question is, aluminum, copper or brass?...
Freshly polished (with a bit of Simichrome on a Q-Tip) positive contact:
Silver negative contacts should be arriving any moment now...

Any time frame when the negative contacts will be shipped out to those on the list?
I think I need to find some Simichrome.

In my case, there should be some other items in the box as well.
A little goes a long way.

Don't forget this while you're at it:

Thanks, Uwe! I have Renaissance Wax already. It's just the Simichrome I don't. Not as easy as it used to be when I ran around with hot rods with mag wheels. . I never see it much anymore.

Does the Simichrome smell as bad as Brasso?
Dunno, don't have any Brasso to compare it to. Simichrome definitely has a bit of an odor, but I don't find it that unpleasant.
That photo is absolutely beautiful!
