cut steel threading?

[kingofswords]

is it possible to cut down a 510 adapter at the thread?
not sure if these are made of steel or copper or zinc but i assume using a hack saw will mess up the thread and sanding/file will take forever and have same result.

can anyone think of a way i could do this.

basicly i brought 510-510 adapter from hc gb with the view to use it on my neo kit i won on vttv...the problem wa i received the classic auto version of the kit which actually has a half skirted ego connection, being as the kit has auto batts(which are great incidentally) the only 2 non-leaky attys i have are the imist and stardust i need to us an adapter...only problem with that is.....



the little gap between the atty and batt incase you didnt notice

as a result my neos have remained in the box since the day i got em since the leak-o-mizers...ahem puromizers that came with them dont play well with auto batteries.

ok so cosmetically not so great...but as these are autos it actually distracts from the suckage(dunno if thats real word) and makes it near impossible to actually take a toke.

so my idea...take 2 or 3 turns off the adapter? or any one know of another even shorter adapter?

suggestions most appreciated?

You could try a 510 to ego..That'll do the job.

May make the draw tight. That depends on the diameter of your battery but I think you'll be ok because you will have two sets of slots. A set on the stardust and a set on 510-ego adapter..

What about a grinder if you have access to one I also believe you can get grinder attachments for the dremall

Do you know anyone who works in a factory? they could turn it down on a lathe

yeh the ego 510 adapter is even bigger macca

dremmels a good idea queenie....dunno what a ginder is though?

nah river but that would be a great idea.
not sure of what material it is made of but it is literally 2 maybe 3 threads i need off

In a 510-ego the skirt of the stardust sits over the cone..It will make the gap disappear..

there isnt anything you can do with the adapter unfortunately ...as it will extend your Janty by one complete adapter length regardless of how long the thread is.... in simple terms the adapter is just stacking the thread from the stardust on top of the thread from the Janty with a tint bit in between.... if you could mill out this bit in-between it may help but not an easy task

you could reduce the length of the thread from the stardust... if you do then try and find a nut you can put on the stardust thread then grind/cut it down. unscrew the nut and this will help take any burring off the thread

the battery you have is the middle one right ?

[maccafan]

Is that what he's got?

I couldn't make out in the piccy. I thought the gap was caused by a long 510-510 not realizing that's a raised 510 connection. My bad KOS..

Can you not just get some washers i/d 10mm, o/d 14mm to fill the gap?

[bluemagnum]

Cloud9 do shorty 510 adapters if that's any help. Otherwise, make your own.

[kingofswords]

oh yeh ur right gordy....it isnt possible.

i couldnt visualize until you said that.

oh well i put them in classifieds see if i can get rid.

yeh is one on middle btw

[popeye]

washer looks like it might be a good idea

[raid2506]

I know it's a bit of an old post but I'm new.

A rubber tap washer should be just the ticket here.

Anyway, I hope you got it sorted one way or another.
