GGTS 901 Adaptor

[Jet]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the design of the GGTS 901 adaptor has changed?

It's just I've received a couple of new ones which are silver and not brass, the length is shorter and there isn't a black band inside.

Thanks , Jet.

Hi Jet,

Yes the design has changed, there are four types that I know of.
Brass with thin walls original GGTS (which I snapped with a AFS as well), Brass with thick walls, Brass with black insert and Nickel plated Brass with no insert. So you have the latest model. Daz

Thanks Daz,

I can rest easy now.

My old ones won't screw on 2011 ggts...

believe me i know it does not have sense but i'm
trying right now and mine brass rethreater won't screw on new nickel tank.
I got 1 turn and than it stop. I rather wouldn't force him cause i
got 2 new nickel rethreaters which screw on just fine.

Now when i'm looking close my old brass rethreater got some bad
threads on top. I think that's the problem.

maybe its damaged zu as you said.

 

[zuTma]

Not maybe. I'm shure.
I use the same one all the time and i love to
play with my gg-s and screwing it all the time
Now i have two ggts new 2011 and #528 and can't decide
which i love more. Really really good stuff imeo. Hat down to you

Now when i'm looking close my old brass rethreater got some bad
threads on top. I think that's the problem.

If "bad" as in bent or flattened, take a brand new box cutter/utility knife blade like this:

start where the threads are good and rock the sharp side of the blade into the messed up area. Rock a bit back and forth and move forward into the adjoining bad thread area. Rock and move forward....repeat until you get to the end of the threads. It will straighten and actually cut into the brass and produce a better shaped thread. Then, put some Noalox on the thread and screw into the tank a bit at a time. Between the two processes, you'll shape up the bad threads so it will screw into the receptor w/o binding and messing up the tank threads. I've done this many many times with screws that get cross threaded; unless the threads are REALLY bad, it works them back to life. Just remember, the smallest and softest metal will be what moves first.......

I don't know how much you can see on this pics but on the left is brass one
whit some "bad" threads on top.
