Since it's just the inner adapter portion that needs to be changed, wonder if they would be up for an grade option for a reasonable price. Doesn't hurt to ask. (Sorry Casey, I know your over worked already).
do you guys expect to have the protege switches delivered before christmas? im going out of country after and it would be nice to have it.
Judging by the USPS delivery overload these days I'm going to just offer a caution that since they aren't shipping before Monday (at the earliest) since Casey's out they prolly won't make it by Christmas. It could possibly make it depending on how close to Tennessee you are and how efficient your post office is, but I've been waiting on USPS to drop a liquid package off at my house that the tracking said was out for delivery on Tuesday. It's their busy season. ;-)

(answering questions out of order)
There is an upgrade option - here for $19.99. Is that what you are looking for or am I missing something?
Just go my Ace/901 adapter today. Looks like the parts that would have to changed would be much more expensive to make than the SS housing. Then you have to press out the old and press in the new. With the extra labor I doubt you'd get much of a discount.
My first impression is that the draw is too light. I wish the intake hole had been drilled a bit smaller
Steve mentioned he was having them made with a smaller hole since most people voted for the tighter draw.
Steve, maybe I got one of the first ones with the larger hole?
Oh, right, I knew what she was talking about just posted the wrong price and link (it was late), here's the right link and it's $21.99.
Although now that you mention it maybe she was actually talking about sending her 901 back and getting it drilled for cheaper?

Do you have an Ace to compare it to? I love the draw on the Ace, is it lighter than that?

Hey Lotus ... nope, you got one with the smaller hole -- Size 57
There were only 2 made with the larger drill bit (size 61/62 -- I believe) and Huey has 1 and I have the other.I do have even tougher draw adapters lotus -- They are hit and miss when drilled, so if the draw is a bit too tight, I have it redone.
No, just the old standard kr808 batts. They're always changing things at the 808 factory (the Atomz are GREAT compared to the old cartos) so I can't say about the Ace battery.

Thanks Steve.
I'm sure it's tough to drill a single hole the exact size you want. The tolerance there is quite small. I've drilled a few 901 batts to use with the 808s, so I know how that goes.We'll see how it goes once I get my Protege back from the repair shop. I'm sure I can use a little something to tighten that hole up a bit if I need to. If not, I'll let you know.

Ha, does that mean I was the first order? Hope it's not too light or I'll hafta order another... ;-)
Edit: I won't get it until Sunday, had it shipped to the place we are staying for the first part of our Christmas adventure.
Huey ... I had a brain fart
LOLI mean JGrubb -- Not you Huey -- Not sure why you came to mind! Must have been thinking about ya bud for some reason
LOL

Hey Brock ...
Once V2's are done - We will be running 200 mechanical V1 switches ... So I would say they should start running First/Second week of January!
