LP RM2 quick question

[ric23]

I just noticed that the hole on my LP RM2 does not line up with the center of the coil after a build. Looks like it's off a quarter turn. Any quick fix? Thanks gang.

Mine doesn't, either. Use the skinny, 10mm diameter O-ring that (should have?) come with the RM2. That should snug it up enough to make up that 1/4-1/2 difference.

If you get a few RM2s, then be warned that they are paired as well - so top caps match bases in rough hole alignment. I mention this since i have loads of them and i cannot just throw them all in together for cleaning and recoiling. One at a time...

Thanks! Will give this a shot!

Thanks, although the idea of cleaning them at the same time has not come to mind yet, I will heed your advice. I have a couple and they match good to each other. It's just this one that's off. Thank you supertrunker!

If the hole is 'forward' - or advanced, clockwise when you screw the cap on, then you can also take the cap off and rub it on a bit of sandpaper.

Then refit it and repeat. Until the hole "moves" as it were, since it will shorten the cap a little and the hole will seem to move nearer to where you want it! anti-clockwise.

Potentially destructive, but spooky all the same!

many of us learned this the hard way...

I did this, mine went clock wise around. So I did it until it turned about 340 degrees. Allowed me to get it right where I wanted it. I used a metal file for mine. Just make sure you do it on flat surface.
