Daytona

Does the rep. Daytona accepts gen. crown & tube? Any mod is needed to accomodate the gen. parts?

Anyone has this experience?

Thanks.

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.

What had to be censored about a flat tube? This has gone too far

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.

What should be the correct size of drill bit to make the countersink?

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.

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.
