Re: Conversion

alecrin, Hi, Glad to hear that you're happy with your Gun, I'm shure that many people are, unfortunately, I was'nt. I thought the problem with the "Speed" of the shaft, was due to it being so long & heavy, so I made my own. I used a length of 10mm aluminium tube, & inserted a 600mm length of 8mm stainlesss steel into the front of it, so to give it some weight, & stiffness, this weighed much less than the original one. Also, as it was a bigger diameter than the steel one, so it displaced much more water in the barrel, so there was less water to be pushed out by the piston, I even drilled more hole's in the nozzel, to allow what water there was, to be pushed out quicker, I also drilled out the front of the nozzel to take the 10mm alu shaft. all this to no avail, it still move in "Slow Motion".... Geoff. I do have some part's of this gun to give to any one who may need them, The power reducer, The valve to pump it up by. if any one want's these, & some other "Bit's", Free! let me know....Geoff.
