To avoid starting a post with a sidetrack I have to comment on the main star in this thread, the red SL68-II.
I would probably be too conservative myself to dare to go with red, but when seeing the pictures I have to
say that red with black details look very good. It's usually the simplest modifications that turn out to make
the biggest changes to the feel of a marker.
Keep up the good work man!

I may hold the answer to my own question here, but I have to ask you anyway.
The SL68-II body isn't made out of cast aluminum, is it? So I asume that you cut
off the SL68 feed neck and threaded the hole. Then put some homemade aluminum
stock class feed in there, and it was that one that got its threads ripped and
not the SL68 body, am I right?
Then that shouldn't stop you from JB-weld the cut of feed neck back in place, if you still have it that is.

dont no if you still check this thread but i have an sl-68 on the way and was wondering what i would all need to do the feed neck mod.

I just did a basic mod job on this one with sandpaper, a hacksaw and some JBWeld.

Here is a nicer one that Ken did.
