crown trouble DRSD MBW 1665

[hupholland]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a crown and tube for my DRSD 1665 MBW, because the crown jumps loose now every time... Probably the crown does not hold any more (threads?).

Which crown and tube do I need?

Where can I get these? (Clarks?)?

best regards

Huub

You can use the 24-7030-0 case tube from Clarks, but your best bet for a crown is to get a gen on ebay- 24-703-0. Then you'll need the tool to re-tap the threads in the case and another tool for inserting the case tube- be careful, the Clark's case tube is delicate. Maybe a dab of loc-tite when you're installing the case tube to help w/ WR.

This can be an easy mod or a real PIA. The Clark tube is very fragile. If you shear it off, getting the broken piece of tube out of the hole can be a b##ch. Also, I have seen MBW cases with different sized tubes. The larger of the two can just be re-tapped, the other one needs to be drilled first. I learned this the hard way. Try getting a broken tap out of the tube hole. Now that is really a lot of fun

Oh ... forgot to mention that you need to countersink the hole to make the tube fit correctly and to have the crown sit correctly on the case.
