chyrule Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Was there any modification need to put a gen 703 crown..? I'm looking at doing the same with my build, but have heard I need to change the tube and drill the hole and retap for the tube. So curious if it is a straight swap. Lovely build bro. Absolutely my favourite submariner also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1972 Posted July 28 Author Report Share Posted July 28 Yes, you need to retap the tube, don't needed to drill! The retap is very easy if you have the tools. Lubrication is very important! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyrule Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Would a 3 x 3.5mm tap be the correct size.? What lubricant would u recommend I use.? Just any cutting oil or would wd40 work? Thanks for advice bro, really appreciative of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1972 Posted July 28 Author Report Share Posted July 28 Yes, a M3 x 0.35 is the correct tapsize. Use a cutting oil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Since this type of work is neither high speed nor high torque, any oil will do. Just be sure to keep the tap straight (ie, be careful not to misthread) & work easy, steady & slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
