The upgrade kit should have two...one with a slightly longer screw pin. It's longer so that it reaches through the base and insulator and connects to the nut.
Oops. Sounds like you and P are working on it. No need for many cooks 
I don't want to add confusion.

Great picture! Thank you!
In a few days, you'll be much better, my cousin had the same operation and they stabilized her hand too, but after a few days, the body heals the wound and the pain passes. If I visit the States in the future, I'll come to give you a big big squeezing hug
Anavidfan said the same yesterday if I recall well.

No my friend, we love cooking here. He deserves at least 2 answers, but in public, so everyone may add his own ingredients to the recipe
I received another SS Paps V2.5 in the mail today, which required rescue. It was in even worse cosmetic condition than I had been led to believe and looked as if it had been sanded vertically using 80 grade paper - even over top cap and switch!
Thankfully it is 95% returned to original condition after some work (the little PnB adapter is a Godsend). I gently wet sanded with 600 grade to remove the scratches, yet preserve the engravings, then dry sanded to bring a light brushed finish. After wet sanding, the switch and top cap were polished with Autosol to a brilliant finish.
I do however have one question, if anyone can help.... What method will restore the tube as closely as possible to the original factory brushed finish?

You can send it back to us with registered mail and we shall refinish it. You'll pay just the return shipping of your choice, 7 for registered mail or 15 for DHL courier.
I too recently rescued a GP Paps 2.5 SS 18350 tube from the Classifieds. There are fairly deep scratches on the tube above the logo. I have a PnB adapter and I know that I can polish it and brush it, but I’m afraid that the laser engravings will be polished off (the GP logo is already pretty bad) if I do the whole tube or that it won’t match if I just focus on the scratches (either the finish will be off or the tube may be thinner in the middle). Can I take you up on this offer as well?
Of course you can, we shall do new laser engravings in both cases as well.
I appreciate your kind offer, but do not mind that it bears some reminders of its unloved past. I just thought that maybe I could make the finish closer to what it originally was. I will look at it for a while and may still take you up on this offer
The engravings were only lightened very slightly on the tube. I started at first with finer paper, but it was getting closer to a polished finish, than brushed.

use some 800 grit wet/dry
I went back to the original insulator and pin. Its working again, all is well, which is a great relief. Good to know about the longer pin though, for future reference.
Thank you all!
I wanna know where you get your little animations (the crawling fly and now the buttwaggingdog) from?

Hasn't it gotten out of hand? I think it's crazy.

The little animations come from here. The fly I've had for awhile. Not sure where that one came from.
