Handles for 700's

[roccus]

You want to give our amps hand jobs?

almost there................................ Sorry, can't blow it up bigger. Dude had a hell of a time. Seems that the original handles were not concentric and a 3D scan would have been pointless. So, it's a whole new hand-Job.....

Why Yes, yes I do. I get very intimate with them.

Checked out my PL400 series one for ya.. center to center holes comes out to 3.750"

That's weird, every 400 I have owned would accept them, 4 or 8 fin

400 owners, start measuring center hole to center hole for handles. If there is not a big need for 3.75" handles, it will be cost prohibitive to manufacture them. If I don't get feedback, I'll skip them altogether.

My 400 8 fin has a handle hole length of 3 7/8.

Will most likely only looking at handles for my 700B anyway.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I measured the 700B face plates, and the Clair 700 II's and the hole spacing is 3.875" center to center. The handles are wide enough to drill 3.75" (.06" in on each side). They should do it.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

They should look like the originals except just a hair wider at the base for drilling for different widths for the 400/700B/Clair. He's printing the model for the mold tonight.

Nothing wrong wit that, make it bigger and better....

That's what I think. Hopefully it won't break the bank in the process.

 

[laatsch55]

I hear that....

 

[roccus]

I will double check mine tomorrow I only measured my 4 fin but will also check the 8 fin one but I used my calipers to measure the 4 fin......

I have four 400 series I and center to center is 3.75 inches. Depending on pricing I'd take up to 8 of them. Bolt threads are 1/4-20.

I think I have 7 or 8, and feel the same way as Fred.

Good work!!!

I just measured an 8 fin 400 and (2) 4 fin 400's and they all measured the same
Center to center appears to be 96.5mm or about 3 13/16" on all 3 of them.


Also PL2000 s1, appears to be 3.5" center to center

Also agree

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Well, that's a pretty good response. We added material around the base so maybe we'll get lucky and be able to drill for 3.75", if not, I'll have him shorten the handle by 1/10th" and go with 2 sizes.

Weird, just measured my 400 8 fin SN15969

3.75 would be a little short,

Those look like hand drilled holes and are you measuring center to center?
