..........

Putting vaseline and screwing and unscrewing a few times and it will fit silentt. Please try this and report again

Does not work. The stealth cap will only go on the opposite side of the steel and brass telescope. It fits on both sides of the aluminum telescope though.

Then maybe its time to do it guys. Ok, after the end of the UFS production I will make some GGTS spares and I will make the Iatty2 prototype at the same time. Then I can make some buttons but if you remind it to me again in 20-25 month it would be even better because I am almost sure that I will forget it!

Will it be the flat top kind, I would be happy with either but flat top would be sweet!

Buttons? Buttons? Well I better get two then

[imeothanasis]

[imeothanasis]

Excellent choice thank you

I am start thinking that something is going on with the previous batch of telescopes. The ones before "by Imeo" version. French seller report the same to me.

36mm are the biggest batteries you can put inside stealth bg. But if yours are bigger, then you can cut 2 threads of the spring (from the side that goes inside the axis of the bottom cap) and they will fit

Mine to only fits on one side. I'm new to the GG I thought it was normal.

Arghh nooooo lol exactly as before please imeo, making it as small as you can will remove throw adjustment

 

[imeothanasis]

I mean that I will make it as small as I can but keeping the adjustment. If I will not be able to make it smaller then I will do it as it was before, ok Alan?

I like the look of the 2011 button, and I actually prefer the look of a steel button over a brass one. I also like the hex head that I can grab with a tool. But I have to say that I do like the adjustable throw on the old button, and I have one complaint about the 2011 button.

My complaint with the new button is the locking nut that fits against the engraved tube. It is so small that it is hard to get a grip on to tighten it enough to the body. I can barely grip it with needle nose pliers without scratching the engraved tube, and if I try to tighten it by hand, it always comes loose when setting the button lock. I wouldn't mind a button that sticks out a couple more mm if it means I can safely grab onto the lock nut with pliers to tighten it just a bit.

But other than this small complaint, I love everything about my SS GGTS!

 

[imeothanasis]

stinky, maybe you dont know the trick buddy! You screw button by the locking nut so your grip is nice like this ok? Then you take off the bottom cap and keep hard the button with your finger. Then unscrew the locking nut but button stays on its place

[Stinky Uncle Ed]

Wow, that works great!

Thank you Imeo, everything is perfect now

* I didn't have to watch the video, but I will anyway since I enjoy watching them

 

[imeothanasis]

Thanks buddy, I am glad you did it. I am here to help

 

[JollyRogers]

OK. Little button tightening lesson was learned here also!
