Question to Masternut

[Lampie]

I did try to find the thread about your kidney-swap, but this was unsuccesfull...

I have a few questions because I did change a pair of kidney's(though I'm not a doctor).

- do you use other connection rubbers(I did put in something different because it looked a little bit to weak)?

- What are those extra things on your distributor pans ?

-are you still feeling o.k. with this change?

Thanks

Martin

Re: Question to Masternut

I used 3 each 1/2-13 nut for spacers,and a longer 5/16-18 bolt and hardware...I love the modification,adjusted all the pin guides the same and haven't had to touch them again.

The rods on the turn pan help turn the butt first pins. I did have to bend the pin holder(black pin ejector below kidney)to help hold butt first pins in pocket,that also is working good.There are pictures in the gallery.

Hope this helps

Re: Question to Masternut

Masternut: I'm usually a connosieur of "Virgin" machines, but your kidney swap is the cat's a_ _! But the first one I did, I used AMF's new kidney. It's made of lighter/thinner steel, plated, and rounnded at the drop off end. That new end did two unexpected things:
1. HEAD-FIRST PINS: Kept the pin head tight in the pinwheel pocket. There was no way I could cause the head-first pin to fall out onto the pan the wrong way, even if I stopped the wheel with the pin at the drop off point and hit the guard with my hand.
2. BUTT-FIRST: The head of the pin usually hangs out of the wheel a little when it reaches the middle of the kidney. But as the belly reached the tip of the kidney, the pin turned in the pocket and the head went back into the wheel!
Couldn't get an original style kidney to do this until I rounded the tip similar to the new style. Now it's great!!
