    Sold/Expired Chameleon 168A Bodies

    I'm considering doing a run of 168A bodies for the MR Bulk Chameleon. The body would be of the same style and finish as the stock Chameleon body, only longer to fit the 168A battery. Other body sizes (150A, RCR2) are possible given sufficient demand. Please respond indicating the number of...

    They are essentially hand polished. Thanks for letting me know that you like the look.

    I was in such a rush to get these out, I forgot to include the information letter. The main thing is to remove the thin 1mm x 20mm o-ring if you're using this with a LionHeart, even though it'll pretty much fit but really squeeze the o-ring. Thanks to TnC Custom Products for advice on where...

    Somehow my email notification of posts to this thread isn't working, or I would have responded sooner. I don't know what caused the delay with the anodizer, but heard Friday that the naturals would be done that day with the blacks to follow by Tuesday. If this is true, I will begin shipping...

    The raw 150A and 168A black and natural tubes are now with the anodizer. The initial estimate was one week. I will ship as soon as I receive these back.

    Status Update 9/3/2005: I received the 150A/168A bodies back from ultrasonic cleaning yesterday. The last step before shipping is anodizing most of the aluminum bodies, which I'll start on Tuesday. I'm estimating that final shipping will take place next weekend, depending on the anodizer's...

    Re: LionCub/LionHeart 168A Body Offer That buffing compound was tough to remove. I had tried detergent with toothbrush, degreasers, brake cleaners, and then high pressure water, but nothing worked. I researched ways to clean out the buffing compound, and the best way seemed to be ultrasonic...

    Re: LionCub/LionHeart 168A Body Offer I understand the desire to get these asap, but most people who got bare brass and/or aluminum also got anodized. If I shipped the bares separately, it would not only take nearly twice as much time to package, label, ship, and account, but the packing...

    Re: LionCub/LionHeart 168A Body Offer I'm reporting any status updates in this 168A thread. ?@ I may have extras, but won't know until current orders are shipped out.

    Re: LionCub/LionHeart 168A Body Offer The bodies are completely machined and ready to be anodized. They look quite good as the pictures attest, but I wanted to see if it's possible to get an even better finish on the metal, taking out the minor tool marks and making the knurling slightly less...

    Re: LionCub/LionHeart 168A Body Offer I borrowed a natural LionCub from Codeman to both test fit the final 150A/168A prototype and as a color sample. The prototype fit is fine. I like o-rings tight, so you'll have to hold the switch module instead of the head when trying to unscrew the...
