that im not there yet but by the looks of it i should have around 12-15mm of space, but im working on a driver i might use sorry no pics/info on that yet
EDIT: my copper slug will be 34mm wide and around the same long and will be machined at the end for the driver
As Arnold would say; “I’ll be back”!
I just need a little away time before I return to the COURUI. I have some other mods to work on while the memory of the “troubles” fades away and I recuperate my zeal.
Damn. Sorry to hear and yes l feel your pain. Been there done that (twice). You may of mentioned this already, where did it come from and what was your 7 amp driver.
Damn that is bizarre, can’t imagine why a thread would lock up like that. That’s a real shame but it’s a cheap host at least so not too much harm done to the wallet!
I have another one at hand. I’m working on an improved series conversion. It works in my mind but whether it will work in real life will need to be determined.
My COURUI had really bad and uneven threads, and the reflector had lots of blemishes so I’m not crying. My other one has a blemish free reflector. I haven’t checked the threads yet. I may install a 5A ramping driver in the second attempt.
