Solude Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 My b22 has felt feet and is in dire need of something, anything better that will provide some lift. Also what version of loctite is safe to use on nuts, bolts, screws, pots inside the amp? Things were pretty loose when I got it and have been tightened but I'd like it to be a one time thing
MASantos Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 Get some 1" rubber door bumpers + nuts and bolts or if you want to go fancy get some metal spikes. Lectite: Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 from Loctite Adhesives blue is semi permanent, will break easily if you need to replace or remove a board, red is permanent and much harder to remove, often needing some sort of solvent to help. Just use a little dot of the stuff on the thread and then tighten the nut, it will dry and keep things together.
n_maher Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 Feet - Case Stands & Feet : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come - at least that gives you a starting point. Feet and knobs are two of the more difficult things to source, honestly. Manuel has you steered right for the loctite.
nattonrice Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 The MNPCTech Billets are my fav. They look very nice in person, especially the black. The brushed Elegant are also very nice; used them on my b22 and buff32s.
Solude Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Posted September 23, 2010 Thanks gents. The current case is the rackmount looking one n_maher uses. Brushed aluminum front, black painted sides and top. Might be black metal, I'm at work. Thinking plain jane black rubber or brushed aluminum ones. That said there are no holes for the feet and I'm not too keen on drilling into a completed amp Could probably use and adhesive to get the metal ones to stay in place. Rubber would be easier I think though since its solid and not a metal sleeve on rubber. Is getting loctite on the board anything to worry about? I'd like to just put a drop on the current layout without removing anything. When I opened my KGSS it looks like Justin does this at the end as jacks and even trim pots are dabbed with red loctite to keep them in place.
MASantos Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 I'd recommend removing the nut, applying a bit of loctite on the top of the thread and then install the nut back again, this will allow the loctite to flow between the nut and bolt when you tighten it and make a better seal.
