tomburras 2,721 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 TBT kits come well over the required lentgh and need cutting down. For a cutting guide I use the old spring - and cut it slightly longer so you don't end up underpower. I prefer to just have the spring without any power washers. If its over you can remove another coil. When your happy give the ends a really good polishing. When you size your piston seal fit it to the end of the piston and put it in your drill as you do when polishing the piston and spin it and with really fine wet and dry size it down a tiny bit at a time so it runs up and down the cyl smothly but still seals 100% perfect. A sparing smear of bum slide on the piston and after a few hundred pellets is super slick. I hope this helps fellman mark and I'm sorry if you already knew this stuff! It's good fun isn't it and very satisfying! 2 Quote Link to post

tomburras 2,721 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Oops ha ha! I did a 77 a good while back and in the back of my mind I think l cut the spring to 255 mm finished lentgh. Edit. Maybe message TBT he is very helpful and I would imagine he will know roughly for sure. 1 Quote Link to post

Elmerfudd 5 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Hi Mark, if the kit doesn't fit the titan spring you've bought just return it with your new spring for a free replacement bespoke one. Edited January 3, 2018 by Elmerfudd 1 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,340 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'll second the comments on here - Vortek Tony and Tinbum Nick are both top blokes to deal with ........ Good kit and fast deliveries. Nick's got the patience of a saint - I've fecked up an HW piston extension and a TX spring guide through being a ham fisted a twat Both times he helped me out and made sure I was up and running again asap.
