finally replaced my mucked up 510 threads on my mvp2 with THE FATDADDY 510 V4 - Low Profile 15.5MM ADAPTER
requirements are some soldering skills, be handy, t6 screwdriver and a tapered right hand metric m10x1 tap.
.
this was my first time using a tap, it was really easy as the hole is perfect size for the tap w/out predrilling and since
base is made out of aluminum the tap will thread it like butter and the fatdaddy 510 will just screw into top plate/base of the mvp2 so nut will not be needed. using a tap for the first time was easier than i thought it would be. google on how to use a tap to make new threads and/or soldering.
HINT: if u cant find the tap individually it might be in a set, if so buy the set from a retailer that has "easy returns", hint hint.
TURN OFF THE MVP2
REMOVE 4 TORX #6 SIZE SCREWS FROM THE TOP OF MVP2, 3 SCREWS SHOWN IN PIC
CAREFULLY LIFT/PRY UP BEZEL W/SMALL FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER
CONTINUE REMOVING BEZEL
BEZEL REMOVED, BUTTON COVER IS NOW FREE TO BE REMOVED
REMOVE PLASTIC PIECE
ONCE ALL 4 TOP TORX SCREWS AND BUTTON BEZEL ARE REMOVED START TO PRY UP
THE TOP ALUMINUM PLATE AND KEEP THE WHITE BUTTON PRESSED SO IT WILL CLEAR THE HOUSING
ONCE TOP IS OFF REMOVE THE 2 SMALL PHILLIPS SCREWS RETAINING THE BOARD TO THE TOP HOUSING.
PLASTIC SURROUNDING BUTTON WILL FALL OUT IF NOT REMOVED
DE-SOLDER THE WHITE AND GREY WIRES FROM 510/EGO ADAPTER
WHITE WIRE IS ALREADY DE-SOLDERED IN PIC
TOP IS NOW FREE FROM THE MAIN BODY.
NOW PRY OUT WHITE PLASTIC SEAL AND CENTER PIN.
DRILL OUT THE RIVET
WITH RIVET REMOVED USE A HAMMER AND PUNCH OR SIMILAR TOOL TO REMOVE THE 510/EGO ADAPTER
MIGHT NEED A VISE TO HOLD BASE, I DIDNT
THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE NOW
USE A RIGHT HAND M10X1 METRIC TAP TO THREAD FROM THE TOP
NO NEED TO PREDRILL AS HOLE IS PERFECT SIZE FOR TAP
THE FATDADDY 510 V4 - Low Profile 15.5MM ADAPTER.
WASHER AND NUT ARE NOT NEEDED
SECURELY SCREW THE NEW 510 INTO TOP OF THE MVP2 INTO THE NEWLY TAPPED THREADS.
CAN USE LOCTITE ON THREADS IF YOU PREFER, I DIDNT.
SOLDER GRAY WIRE INTO HOLE IN CENTER PIN.
SOLDER WHITE WIRE TO BASE
I USED A WIRE BRUSH ON DREMMEL TO CLEAN/ROUGH UP BASE
TO PRE-SOLDER B4 SOLDERING WHITE WIRE TO THE BASE.
REASSEMBLE
SWEET!

Excellent tutorial! This is very helpful since the threads on my 3 month old MVP 2.0 just went 2 days ago.
