Yeah I have an XXIX all copper tube, I just had to keep it polished up its about twice as much maintenance as a brass mod. I used never dull on it and it worked great, but it is a bit more maintenance, It's a pain to mechine as well, I'll probably only be doing one more copper mod...and that's a maybe ..

 

[Tbev]

Sorry for more questions. But is there any battery ventilation holes on the mods?

That copper is ... btw. But high maintenance metals aren't for me

There's no vent holes, but the battery compartment is connected to the bottle hole so it doesn't build up pressure when you vent a battery. . Not that anyone is going to vent a battery..[emoji39]

I've done it, no biggie just drop/set the mod down, let it do its thing. You may need a new bottle, no biggie.

Hey Tom, get those missing parts delivered?

I not gonna lie, I'm hugely excited to put a marquis on that tranny and get a rocking.

 

[Tbev]

They are supposed to be here today, again, but they were in Philadelphia last night..

 

[brookj1986]

So it should likely be Saturday or Monday you actually receive them (not sure if they're usps or other carrier or weight which could change this)... stupid logistics background. On the bright side, gives me plenty of ammunition when a carrier screws up a shipment of mine, knowing proper transit schedules and whatnot.

 

[Tbev]

Yeah, If different get em tomorrow or wheneve, I'll finish it up and ship it the same day..... I don't have very much faith in those guys as a whole, I always use insurance and just make sure everything is good I'm myb end. . . Then hope for the best. .

You have any suggestions/tips for shipping I'm general?

 

[brookj1986]

Depends on weight, dims, and carrier... and where is from and to.

 

[Tbev]

I guess it's a good idea to insure every package too huh..

Who was it that was talking about doing one without the center bar in the squonk hole?

 

[Tbev]

Beck I believe, I'm still not sure if I'm gonna do it or not, I'll check it out tomorrow, I may have to make a whole new jig, it depends on how is gonna come out.

 

[Nautilusfan]

Wonder how it would change functionality?

 

[Tbev]

It won't, it will change the edges of the squonk holes. On the inside and top/bottom it will take the angle away. You have to cut it the way I currently cut it to get those slopes / curves. Otherwise it's just a flat, nasty looking cut out of the side. That's what I didn't want in the first place, that's why I came up with the angle cut like I do it.

I'll play around with it tomorrow and see what's up with it.

 

[Nautilusfan]

The angles/slopes do really add to the overall appearance

Insurance never a bad idea, especially usps.

If all your stuff goes usps, ups or FedEx, it's pretty much a cross your fingers about the due date... especially usps and ups. FedEx and DHL are pretty good as long as there isn't weather in Memphis or Columbus (those are the major hubs for FedEx and DHL respectively)

 

[Tbev]

I don't like paying me for instance than for the actual shipping but I think your right about that, good way to go for sure.

I did a Delrin cap for the Marquis btw. It's super thin as you can see, this is bright red Unicorn Blood from Fuzion

Hmmm...pics not working right now for some reason. ..

 

[Tbev]

Well. .here are some sideways attached pics of a marquis cap in white delrin. . . My tech skills are making me feel really old. ..

 

[brookj1986]

Me likey... a lot.

This isn't sounding promising.

I think i might cry.

I was initially very interested to see how this would look but now that Tom has put his input in on the the angle of cuts I don't have a lot of Hope either
