1680 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hello, I've just received a 24-7030 tube from WSO and allready ruined it I have big problems with fitting the tube in the Josh/Cartel case, the tube does not want to get deep enough into the case. Sorry don't know how to explain it properly. Any advice? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 You need a 3.00x.35mm tap to chase the threads and possibly go deeper into the case -or- you will need to use a Dremel to cut back some threads. I have also found many of the aftermarkets are longer on the inside portion. Maybe find a Gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 So, today I got my M3X3,5 tap, but unfortunately it didn't help... I took 2 pictures to show my problem: I thought the WSO tube is built like the gen, can anyone confirm this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 you need to countersink the hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Countersink just a hair as you don't want the crown to screw all the way down and touch the case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cht Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 yUP, I used a dremel and a bit just big enough to countersink it ever so slighty. You need to be care, you do NOT want to make the counter sink hole to big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 agreed, countersink is the way to go youll have to countersink a depth of 0.35mm at 4mm circumference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
