Happy Vapor Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I nicked the bottom ring with my grinder but other than that I'm happy with it. I'm about to the point where the looks of things don't worry me anymore I want performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to the point where the looks of things don't worry me anymore I want performance. I'm right there with ya! When drilling extra holes or just enlarging the existing in my rdas, theres scratch marks from where the bit "walked" away from the intended area I wanted to drill.

Happy Vapor Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I do that a lot. Gives it a custom look. I scratched my kayfun all to he'll so I took some sand paper to it. Now it has a brushed finish look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatroy Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Maybe a little more than a minor modification, be careful your don't rip out those 510s seen it too many times....l, Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 First off... Kudos for ingenuity and perseverance... Now, when you said "grinder", it made me start thinking... You only have to expand the diameter by a millimeter or so, right? How about using a brake-cylinder hone? Granted, it would be a slower method of removing that much material, but it would obtain perfect symmetry when enlarging the ring. Pop a course-hone on your drill or drill-press, use a little cutting-lube or light-oil, and let the drill do the work.... switch to a fine-hone or buffing wheel and put a shine back to the ring when you've reached the proper diameter.... Two or three spinning hones, evenly cutting under spring-pressure, at the same time... would sure make the job easy and you wouldn't have to worry about symmetry, cutting too deep/uneven, or scratches if your grinder slips... Just a thought for anyone else wanting to expand the ring for a Nautilus (or larger tank).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuab3687 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I call it, "function over form". Lol All I do is drive a truck all day. No one's gonna see my hack job drilling. And if if someone does and ribs me about it, I'll just blow a fat raincloud at em! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Vapor Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 And you have to remove the whole upper ring. I know you couldn't fit the nautilus on there just opening the diameter up a little. Due to the small ring above the air control. Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIAWOL Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 My VTR made it a whole day before I cut the ring off. I like it much more now that we are divorced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
