How to make 510 connectors?

[Sir_Lawrence]

I got a list of parts to build a 510 battery connector from mad vapes. Does anyone know of a chain store that I can purchase theses parts?

Also, does anyone have there own way of making 510, 901, and 801 battery connectors? I would love to learn, and where to find the parts at my local stores.

Thanks

Check out the thread on using RCA connectors as well. Easily picked up at any radioshack, and offers universal atty compatibility.

There's quite a few threads around here for making your own connectors. I believe there is a sticky that shows a decent way of making a 510 connector.

And I also believe there is a thread that has a few details on the different thread sizes needed for literally making your own.

I think nerf has a thread with pictures too!

Hope it helps!

when i made my own 901 connectors i used some ones mod that i cant remember where i seen it but its a tire valve drilled out to 1/4 inch with some plastic tube with a screw in the middle and i have it in 3 of my mods but recently i switched to the type n and m connectors from radioshack saves hastle because the valve stems are such a pain in the @$$ to drill strait lol

In my early days I drilled through the sides of a couple of valve stems as well. One would have thought the drill bit would just follow the existing hole in the stem straight though instead of making a U turn.

The "N" connector idea was a great find by someone and saved a lot of work. Now that I have a few dead batts and PTs laying around I've been starting to use those.

I can understand making connectors or even adapting some N and M connectors when you can't find the originals or are out of dead batteries.

But when you can find the originals cheaply why bother making them?
