ianfrog Posted June 7 Report Posted June 7 Hi having returned to using light weight swingers from using bobbins on chains for many years. The swing arms I have purchased have a 5mm male thread at each hinged end. I would like to carry on using my old illuminated bobbins (Osprey Kryptonites remember them?) As a result I am trying to find an adaptor that is 5mm thread female down to a 2BA male (3 of). Ironically Solar do one that goes 5mm male to 2BA female lol. Anyone know of anywhere that can supply these as putting isotopes in the supplied heads doesn`t appeal, have you seen the price of isotopes these days !!!! Cheers Ian Quote

About £15 a pop, and Korda 3x 25mm were the cheapest for my Solar heads. I had to buy 3 to fit my old Solar indicators after I broke an IPRO head. Perfect world I now want some clear shrink tube to go over them... 7 hours ago, ianfrog said: As a result I am trying to find an adaptor that is 5mm thread female down to a 2BA male (3 of). Custom Reel King or Matrix might be worthwhile. Quote

You might have to dig them out so I can see what ancient relics look like 😂 yonny and salokcinnodrog 1 1 Quote
