I.P plugs for DS4

[narked at 90]

now if you know what im on about your'll know if you need one or not!
basicly im machining some delrin plus to fit an apex ds4 to turn them from conpensated to non conpensated first stages for 02 addition
im making a couple up for digger and andy and a couple of spears
if any of you home builders are needing one put your name down as i've not got much delrin left so first come first served!
i have no idear on price yet but you'll only be paying WHAT IT COSTS AS IM NOT ON THE MAKE!! the cost will just be split between the people who want them.
best regards john routley

John bud...

Since the Azi is likely to go KISS when (or if) the Evo arrives can you put me down for a pair?

Cheers,

Perfect timing, just received my DS4 in the post yesterday and thats just what I'm after can you put me down for one please.

Cheers.

BTW if my memory serves me right, the AZI's first stage aren't fixed IPs.

You are in definite danger of becoming my hero. Put me down for two. They will be perfect for my next project. Now all I need is an old KISS valve.
Much better than the "pray it works" metering valve.
Anyone considered making new caps to convert Xstreams to fixed IP?

I always believe I'm gonna bugger something up so might as well get two whilst I'm at it...

Oddly enough the Azi hasn't got a fixed IP, it works on standard 1st stages... odd I know, but since it's Nitrox rather than O2, the small change in flow rate gives a negligable difference... 15 bar at 40 Meters rather than 10 doesn't majorly affect flow rate... you might argue that it's probably around 50% up... but it's not completely linear from zero... actual inspired fO2 doesn't vary much. It's not true CMF but very close.

Pure O2 and flow rates however much more critical...

Two would be good... but if demand outstrips supply then one would do nicely.

Cheers,

Mark

ok by the look of things there wont be a nouthe delrin to go round but it just so happens i've got a bar of ali about the right size so may use that all i need to find is the proper o-ring to use... it's 30 O.D....... 27 I.D so 3mm thick

any of you lot got any? if not i know a man who can!

brent if you draw it we'll make it for you!

Brent,
if you look on http://www.vk4tub.org/tubby/Jetstrea...stage_mods.jpg Tubby tells you how to convert a Xstream to non balanced IP.

John,
If you have any caps left over I'll have one as a spare (hopefully your lead time is less than Jetsam's)

Thats a Jetstream first stage. The Xstream is very different.

John,
Appreciate that my friend, I am going to have to take you up on that. The original Xstream first stage cap is open to the water, it will need a totally new cap sealed to the body to ensure a fixed IP. I'll take it apart and have a look to see if there is a practical way to accomplish it. Then I'll get back to you.

I love you man!
