New Catch Cup for Mods

[asdaq]

Ahh cheers Para, that is just about perfect. I can shave off the extra no problem and have it as tight as I want. Mjmetz was concerned about cutting it down, not me. Mj, if you cut it about where you want with a hacksaw, you can chuck the small end of the adapter in a drill and finish with a file and some sandpaper quite quickly.

That's my "lathe" and how I got it straight and smooth....works really well. Post pics when you make the conversion. I think it will add to an already great looking mod. Glad I could help

Thanks guys, that helped a lot. The finishing touches are my weak point, having never worked as a craftsman some of those methods just don't occur to me without some prodding. I'm rehabbing a wood mod and I'm going to give this a try for the catch cup replacement.

Retrofitting doesn't sound like fun, already did that for 2 mods to get the finishing washers in there. But for future stuff, these would be great.

Retrofitting has its small victories that can be cherished. I succeeded in getting the old glued in chipped delrin catch cup out without damaging the box or its finish. a task I was certainly not equal to a few short months ago, so I'm pretty pleased with myself. As this new catch cup is going to be brass, I am wondering whether a shine and some clear coat before installation is the way to go.

For the outside I would say just a shine, and if you are concerned about juice reaction on the inside, a thin layer of inert silicone like DAP 100% would be a good barrier.

Just got one in the mail to give it a try, spot on 5/8" OD. Thanks again Para!

So the cup part on top is 1/2" male the size of 1/2" copper pipe
They also sell a 1/2" x 1/2" female sweat adapter. the cup on top is larger (fits pefictly over the male) Oo!
The barb fitting is the same size so the 510 connecter fits this one perfect as well !
