Is the GGTB 510 Cap adjustable?

[K24A3]

Some of my G4 carto's cannot reach the screw and fail to fire.
The carto's work fine on two other 510 devices.

Is your center-pin screwed in all the way?
The pin is adjustable, but if it's all the way in, i don't think theres much else to do.
The pin seems to be the same length as on the 901 top cap, but the cap itself is taller on the 510-model so the pin wont reach as far.

On the battery end of the cap, the large hexagon piece is screwed all the way in.

The flathead screw on the atty end is also screwed all the way in.

I tried unscrewing it but it wouldn't budge, is that what you are referring to as the pin?

Maybe you could try finding a bolt with the same threads and modding it to fit your needs.

Here's a pic of the pin taken out.

Nice pic, thanks.

That screw can be unscrewed yeah? Perhaps I just need to add a washer under the head.

You need a 12mm hex bit to unscrew it or grip it with pliers. If you add a washer the pin will recede further, that's why I was suggesting making your own so it would sit up further in the connector.

Hmm ok thanks for the info.

Only two out of ten carto's don't fire, so perhaps it will be easier to sand down the end of the carto so it reaches properly. I imagine it would be hard to find a similar bolt at hardware stores.

I'll give it a try now...

 

[K24A3]

I tried sanding things down to no avail.

The carto has flathead notches on the inner contact so I tried unscrewing that. There is no thread so it didn't move vertically, but somehow the carto makes contact now lol. It must have loosened up and slightly moved lower.

All good now, cheers guys.

Glad you got sorted. Instead of buying more carto's get the iAtty when it's out. Problem sloved!

 

[K24A3]

Yep I'm planning on buying iAtty #0001

Phatt chance though

When I lost a pin on a GGTS I made a quick fix with a brass nail, the GG worked fine still!!! I think sometimes the contact is not low enough in the cheaper attys, a lot of differentiation even in the same pack.....

But I did get another pin........
