edgematic1 Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Guys, I ordered a 7206 from Ruby a long while ago. I wanted to try it out yesterday and noted that it doesn't take gen 2mm springbars. Anyone else who has this issue? They try to create a 7206 but they don't fit gen springbars?

Nanuq Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 I had the same results from Yuki and MQ. Gen springbars don't go through there. But the solution is easy enough. Get one of those cheap Jeweler Screwdriver sets at the grocery store for $5.99 Get the size that won't quite go through the hole, and twist it and shove it through there. The 7206s are made from thin sheet metal and the twisting and pushing of the screwdriver will make the opening bigger. I've done this on a dozen Yuki and one MQ bands with success. Remember, these are not unobtanium vintage bands that will never be available again, these are cheap tin replicas. Be brutal and cram that screwdriver through there, bending and cranking it back and forth as you make the opening bigger. Put on your Big Boy panties and use those screwdrivers to make it fit. In the end, it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Are these 7206 replicas available from anyone, anywhere, anymore? Been trying to get hold of one for my pending project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
