VS2 Parts Specs

[Toestr]

I'm wondering if someone could please provide me with a couple measurements.

I'm looking for:

- the OD of a VS Striker

- the ID of the bottom tube of a compatible body

- the ID of the hole in the balance valve body for the retaining screw

I'm looking to do a valve swap on a Mokal Fokus. The valve uses 015 orings, but the hammer uses a proprietary seal. There's no step in the lower tube but the valve seemed to be quite tight when I slid it out the back.

I don't have immediate access to my VS2 right now, but I can get you numbers tomorrow night if someone else doesn't first. I do believe the OD of the striker, and ID of the lower tube, should be the same as a typical slim striker Spyder (nominally 11/16), only the VS2 (and all other Balance Valve Spyder) striker is shorter in length.

Appreciate it.

Yeah, I'm just wondering if the ID is opened up by a few .000ths in Spyders. If the Fokus valve is any indication, it's a very tight fit and I think a spring would have a hard time driving the striker if it used an 015 oring. The stock seal is shaped and I think it catches air like a parachute and expands slightly when air hits it.

If I could also get the diameter of the slot for the striker oring that would be appreciated.

I'll get you these later tomorrow (well, today in EST) as I totally forgot, and I'm now too tired/lazy to do it.

Unacceptable.

Thank you kind sir. I think the only thing I might have an issue with is the size of the retaining screw. Mine is much smaller. Also maybe the hammer bolt linkage pin.
