I hope I have this in the right section.My apologies if it isn't.
Got a panzer that says made by MCV Philipines BUT this one doesn't look like the normal ones I see or ordered.It has no lock down movement,an "eagle head" on the firing button with number 505,no gas mask.I ordered what I thought was the upgrade from fatdaddies but that was a fail and the top contact is spring loaded,not the adjustable screw type.My question is, is these what I need to upgrade to a "normal panzer" or 1:1 clone.

Here is what the top pin looks like

I have the knowledge and machines to make the other parts fit.Just need to know if this is what I would need to make it into an adjustable panzer.I see no other markings.Thanks all for any insight.

@ isademigod- no,not to fix rattle,to replace the contact posts.The one I have is different from the original and 1:1 clones it seems with an adjustable pin type screw on top.The top pin has a spring behind it,inside the delron.Autoadjust as it were.

@roflwaffles,yeah it does say for shenxi,figured it might be what I had even tho it says MCV philipines.I have the ability to mill the delron out to make it fit.Truth be told I am not sure what panzer I have,it's SS and brass.I could have the first panzer clone that was made by INFINITE, ADVKEN, &/or fastech and this place has these pieces also along with the shenxi parts(shown).They say the panzer is suppose to hit hard,welp it doesn't,yeah everything is clean and new and tried different rda's from .04 - .08 ohms.no joy.

OK,here is what I have in the guts on top.The posts on the pins are solid and cannot accept threaded screw to adjust the throw of the contact to battery.I thought if I got the conversion kit I could make this work.The original spring was sooo flimsy it collapsed and I used a faucet spring in place of it.

Wouldn't you be better off buying a better $23 panzer clone?
Seems like you will spend more than that trying to upgrade the crappy version you have.
I'd cut my losses and pick up a better made panzer clone.

There are tons of them available. Just look for one with better top cap and adjustable pins like you want.

Ya but if the frame is bad another engine is not gonna fix it. No matter how nice the bodywork is ;)

Maybe find another top cap that threads into the mod?
Do ya know the thread size?

well I threaded the copper top piece,bored out the delrin and screwed on a regular panzer part,a silver end piece onto the little copper stem.Worked like a charm and cranks out the plummage @ .07 ohms.Thanks everyone for your help,insight and thoughts.What can't be done can be,with the right tools.LOL........to me anyway..thanks all.
