bertieng Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Does the rep. Daytona accepts gen. crown & tube? Any mod is needed to accomodate the gen. parts? Anyone has this experience? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have done a few and had no trouble fitting gen tubes & crowns. They all needed to have the existing tube hole slightly countersunk since the original rep tube had a flat [censored] where it mated with the case (the gen tubes have rounded mating surfaces). And I re-tapped one of the cases because the existing threads in the hole did not match exactly with the threads on the gen case tube. I probably could have installed the tube without tapping, but I wanted to do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 What had to be censored about a flat tube? This has gone too far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWATCH Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I had The Zigmeister replace the tube and crown on my TT Daytona with gen. Seemed pretty easy. At least for me. Parts were a littly pricey, being gold and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I think I used an 11/64" (inch) drill bit. And I have no idea why my previous post got censored. I do not remember the exact word or words I used, but it was something like '[censored]' or 'face', as in the rep tube had a flat [censored] or face. Apparently, the word 'f l a n g e' (without the spaces) is being automatically censored for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 How about the pushers? Will the gen fit also into the slots? Those on the rep are pretty por quality and look fake straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
