rmcsherry Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Just a quick note - 1:1 Pre-V screws have arrived! I can guarantee that these were made with genuine Pre-V screws as a reference, although haven't received mine just yet - I'll post some pictures when they arrive!

My understanding is SS..have checked reference images of 202/A, 203/A and 218/A and they are all shiny shiny !! FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 So have you decided on a case yet...Looks to me that a standard case is the only one that I can get my hands on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 So have you decided on a case yet...Looks to me that a standard case is the only one that I can get my hands on I've got an 02A in the perfect Pre-V case so my plan is to swap that into a Jimmy case and use the Pre-A 02 dial and then use the other case to build my 201 in... I have been looking at alternative Pre-V cases and haven't found a source....patience is the key and look at the resale section for that old school E or F series 111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 i've asked the seller how much mm diameter has the screw head. he replied 1,6mm diameter has the screw head. but the right rep horn hole has 1,8mm diameter. the left horn has the thread and has to be drilled out to 1,8mm hole. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth repping a rep case is the question in my mind....and at the same time - accomodate the 1:1 2 screw lug bars Ross has initiated!!!

As FGD has pointed out, the next step is a perfect case - it already seems to exist, so I'm sure we can arrnage a re-run / with enough people, commission a new case design to accomodate the double screws. Maybe even DSN would be able to make them if somebody were to supply him CAD (although I'm sure there'll be some differences between the CAD and production case through conversion CNC).

rmcsherry Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 ...Gen on the left, reproductions on the right. Both are 100% interchangeable, measurements on a digital caliper are accurate to within 0.01mm - I don't think we're going to get any better than that! I'm amazed by the quality, the finish and price (considering the complexity of internally threading the tube, creating 3 pieces with perfectly finished edges etc.). The seller is a great guy to deal with - hopefully they'll be the perfect accompaniment to FGD's dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
