So, what found parts do we know made up the jaw pistons?
- Du-Bro 2-56 solder kwik-links -
Spring Steel and Solder Kwik-Links
- Du-Bro 4-40 steel threaded rod ends -
4-40 Rod Ends
- 5mm ball bearings
- hinged threaded round stand-off from unknown company - I have only found the ones with smaller top ends with threaded rods, so the rod attaching to it has to be hollow for this piece to screw into.
- rods, either solid or hollow and possibly with threaded ends.
When doing this list and rechecking the reference I found that I had bought the wrong rod ends. I got the 4-40 Steel Solder Rod Ends. Unsure whether they are the same size and shape as the ones listed above.
Also, in some reference photos, the solder kwik-links seems to have some thickness and angles to them that the metal ones do not have. Are we certain they didn't chrome plastic or nylon ones, which are fatter and has those angles I see in some photos? And are we certain they didn't keep it in the same scale as the rest - 4-40?
These are based on RogueSkynet's and other people online's findings. Would love to hear people's input on this.
