ubiquitous Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just got this case in trade, and it's looking like it may be a suitable example for a Pre-V. Short, fat, stubby lugs: Compare to my JimmyFzu case on the left: The corners of the case are pretty blocky as well; not turned/curved down very much... Currently housing a 6497 and 111f dial, though that may be changing Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 That looks good Ubi. Here is the profile of the case I used: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcsherry Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Looking good - I've used the same in my 201A that I'm putting together - this is the one with the 1.8mm lug screws, right?! They're a bit problematic if you want to use the double screws, but the threads of the existing 1.8mm screws are compatible with the Pre-V tubes (cut, score and polish the 1.8mm screws to get a 'snug' fit on the CG side of the case!).

ubiquitous Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks, R- I'm not sure what size the lug holes are, but they do look larger than the ones on my Jimmy case; .2mm may not appear to be much, but I definitely see that it might make drilling a little difficult. So, if I understand correctly- You basically took the threaded portion of the 1.8mm bar, cut the end off and slotted the top to recreate the other end of the double screw lug bar for a Pre-V?

I've tried it before, and only suceeded on one screw - and the thicker bars aren't easy to come by! I'm just putting together a 201a into this case at the moment, and think I might stick with the standard pre-v screws (just have a tiny bit of movement on one side) - if it bothers me after a couple of months, I might look to do what is suggested above! Great starting point though, can't wait to see the finished piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
