How do I get a bronze RM2?

Just put it in my request when I order it via the web site? I have to have one!

PM redeyedancer here in the forum. tell him how many you want and you'll receive an invoice via email. then click and do the usual paypal thing.

the email account i use for paypal i use only for paypal, so i included that in the PM to Rob when i did it, but that may not be necessary...

EDIT: bronze? did you mean brass?

Or...if you're inclined to you can do it yourself.

The brass RM2 is just the standard RM2 with the nickel plating sanded off. Per Rob's advice I put a spare 510 connector in a 1/2 drill and attached my RM2 to that. Holding the sandpaper in my hand I used the drill to take off the plating and then used finer grit sandpaper to shine it up. Took me about an hour (well...I was watching T.V. and only sanded during the commercials so it was likely less than that).

err they are not made of bronze, but brass. You can polish them to death or the lazy Trunker way is to just blowtorch them! i assume you are doing it for the shiny gold look. This is one i ruined earlier on my black grand.

brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.



This particular one has an o-ring between both parts of the RM2 to line up the air-hole with the coil as SXD recommends.

I have a quote in from Rob on what itll cost me, if its too much ill just DIY and take the time. My current rm2 has a ding anyways from a fall so it could be a fun project.
