So just got a Gus 22 from VapeRev and wanted to change out the positive post with a brass screw. I know to get a 10-32 screw, but what length show I get? Could I get a silver plated screw?
Have you got to cutting the screw? I just ordered my Gus 22 and when i get it i want to do the mod? Where did you pick up the bolt from?
Got the screw and nut from Home Depot (see pic). I used a nylon threaded nut, inserted nut upside down. I then threaded the nut all the way down the screw and cut with dremel. I then used the Dremel to sand. Fits my Igo-L with slight gap, but fits flush with my AgaT. You should measure it with the atty you want to use and cut accordingly. Hits a lot better with screw. Just a warning, the spring you are replacing acts as an insulator against overheating so be careful.

Nice! I Have a Igo-L on my KTS now and i like it. and Nimbus on my Natural. I did that whole sanding down on the Natural and now my Igo-L wont work but works great on the Nimbus. So i learned from experience about measuring the atty. I'll go to home depot this weekend and pick these up. If you have time could you possibly take a picture of the actually bolt on the Gus on both sides so i get an idea what you meant by dremeling the nut. Thanks again bro!
So I basically screwed the nut on backwards all the way to the head of the screw and used the nut as a guide to cut the straight line. The nut protects the threads and it being a nylon locking nut keeps it from moving when you cut. When I cut with the nut all the way screwed to the head, it was a close fit for my Aga-T. You would need to measure from your battery to the atty post. Hope that helps.
Thanks. I've been looking at the Gus also.
