rolli Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 it looks much better..... i did it also with a thick steel crown-guard in connection with a titanium case. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMo Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I think it looks great I have a 177H on the way from Joshua myself, and I hope to source a "T" titanium crown. Would be nice to fit a "V" CG also, but it dosn't come in titanium.. Did you get your CG from Davidsen? -- ReMo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to widen the screw holes and get them more to the side. Tricky without heavy machines! Then I used a belt sander to get the rough shape of the topside, rest was done with sanding paper. For cutting the CG feet (important for tight lock-down) i used a Dremel and sanding paper. I wasted one CG on the way to get the holes right so I would say that this is not an easy DIY mod without serious tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 You widened the holes so that the Davidsen would screw into the standard case? I guess the difference was small enough that the screws would still hold the cg taut against the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) You widened the holes so that the Davidsen would screw into the standard case? I guess the difference was small enough that the screws would still hold the cg taut against the case. The trick is to cut the big holes from 2,8mm to 3,3mm while shifting the hole center about 0,25mm to the ends of the CG. The small hole inside where the screw goes through has to be widened to 2mm and shifted about 0,25mm to the ends so it becomes a long hole leaving a rim where the screws hold the CG to the case. Obviously you can Edited June 30, 2008 by Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 @kruzer. I changed the CH koles so they would work with the standard case screw holes and screw. Did not change anything with the case holes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I have a 177H from josh. The lever itself is very small. Thats a LOT of work you did. think replacing the lever itself would be easier? dvsn sell them and would it fit the stock 177H CG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a stock Joshua CG with the feet shortened to get a correct, but still a little smooth lock-down with 0,5mm distance between case and crown. Lever was made flush with the CG and lever space was tightened. For obvious reasons I don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
