It's a custom build off of a TC case.

I put some other pics of it up over on RG

Guys, here (in French, I apologise but you can find pics for comparison) a little review about my gen 1995 SD vs my lightly modded BP SD ;-)

Edit: thanks to Benjji : it is not a SSD but a SD from BP without LEC.

Can someone please tell me what size tap I need to add a TC tube?

 

[Jordan27]

You need an M3 0.3 I believe R2D4 is the man to ask though. It is further back in the thread but im on my phone and cant be bothered trying to find it..

Here you go.

Just a heads up for those planning a Crown-Tube swap with TC's or Gen/Clarks equiv.

The BP case is drilled and tapped to accept an M3 X.35 Pitch tube. The TC tube and the Aftermarket Gen tubes are M3 X .3. While this might not sound like a big difference, it is actually a "no-go" without the proper threads. I contacted CaskerCo about this because Otto, Casker, Esslingler all sell a .35 pitch tap, which will not work with their .3 ptich tubes. .35 is an IFI standard size which explains why they all carry them. Esslinger probably thought I was nuts and replied that they can get the .3 pitch if "I" wanted them too. lol, I bought tubes from all of them. They are all .3 pitch. So they can do what they need to do but..me.. I vote for the proper threads in the case.

Don't believe me? Buy a thread pitch gauge and see for yourself.

I re-tapped the case to .3 from a .35, it's not ideal but it holds extremely well if you do this correctly. The TC and the Gen tubes are longer than the rep anyway, so you have twice the thread engagement into the case.

My Gen crown with Ofrei tube is perfect! Thanks R2!!!

Q5 is the gen crown just the 703? Rsh has some for sale, might grab one if it's correct.

 

[Q5?]

Could one you guys recommend where I can find one of these taps? I'm guessing Home Depot wouldn't carry it, right? I'd need to buy online?

 

[Jordan27]

The only place I've found them readily available is Ebay.. Literally type in M3 0.3 pitch tap and there's only 1 option that's actually 0.3 and it's $28 usd delivered free delivery.

Be careful with those used eBay crowns, they can have weak springs. One or two of those sellers are pretty good about sending more, just make a good inspection and test when you get them. I put them on a stem and wind like you would a watch. If it clutches out, it's not good.
