Is there a special sized RCA? Or can I walk into Ratshack and grab the cheapest, I don't have any extra 510 batteries so this is a great thing.
Also does it come off fairly easily if you need it to or is the connection to the atty pretty much permanent?

Just gave this a try and wasn't very happy with the results. The Center pin didn't stay tight making it move to easily. When I got the atty to fit tightly enough so it wouldn't fall out it was then harder on the treads then I would like.
My end thought is it would do in a pinch but I think I'll just wait till I have some money to order the threading tools and pipe.

just used this for my box mod pretty amazing kind have to play with it for a while to get it right for the 510
Found this works great and a little hot glue tightens center post so it doesn't move.
My mod works excellent!!!

I've made two mods. both with tire valve concept... works great...
My friends want my mod! They all wanna start vapin' because of the mod!
I stripped off the bright yellow rubber with no issue. But, apparently I have the only non-adjustable rca in the world. The center rod would not move and I peeled the outer layer off. Careful, it is dainty.
Back to the drawing board.
Edited to add that I tried another rca and the plastic holding the center post was all one piece. No up and down movement possible. So, I am gonna have to look at radio shack to see if they have any "adjustable" types. Anyone got a confirmed part number?

Mr Phil, It's been awhile, but I think I heated the center post a little with my soldering iron to adjust the depth.
I appreciate that tidbit. I can't soldier worth a hoot, but simple heating is doable. Thanks again.
I tried this and you need a certain type of rya adapters to make it work all 3 of them I tried it on it wouldn't work on where did you get your connectors from ? I cut up cords and just ruined them the center post would not slide through there was circuit board insulators that made it impossible to slide the center post did you use radio shack ones couse I'd be happy to buy a few of them if that's what you used I really like your idea if I could just make it work I'd be thrilled please a little input would be helpful
Have the part# by chance? I'm having the same problem. Every RCA plug I get my hands on end up being impossible to adjust due to the way it is made. It's a little frustrating when you have everything else you need to complete a build.
And for anyone perusing the RCA connectors @ Radio Shack: Don't bother with the really cool looking gold plated RCA adapters. You can adjust the center post, but they are made of cheap potmetal and will break instantly when you try to form them to fit an atty. These frustrating .......s are part #274-0850. BAD!
Ohhhh, that would have looked so cool.
I'm not sure why anyone is still using this method. This thread was started before any connectors were available. Various threaded parts were found for the 801, 901 and 4081, but nothing was available for the 401 or 510, and this worked. It's a bit outdated now.
Most of the references to RCA connectors that you see are referring to making Warp's RCA adaptors which was started before one piece adaptors were available to make components interchangeable.
But if you really want to do it this way, I would check the Goodwill or other second hand shops where you can pick up the cables for less than a dollar.

I insisted on using this because I felt like making a pass through from stuff I had laying around the house. =)
Thanks for the idea.

Is there a way to get a much more detailed look on how to do this and hook it up to my mod? I want to try this out but cannot understand your idea. It sounds amazing though!
