DS4 blanking plate - any in SS?

Sutty · 11th February 2006, 19:52

Hi all,
Does anyone know if anyone is making caps for the DS4 to fix the IP in stainless rather than plastic?

Thanks,
Neil

Why? Plaggy works fine. Cheap too.

Just a piece of round SS sheet metal, 1.5 mm thick is sufficient. You can use the existing silicone disc as a makeshift 'o-ring'.

I believe the diameter you need is about 34.3 mm but PLEASE measure before you order some

If you ask a laser cutter in your region he'll probably cut 10 pieces or so for a couple of $/EUR/£.

Great Paul,

thanks for posting the reference pictures.

Maybe it's a good idea to post them in the library here as well.

I was really wanting to keep the O-ring seal like in the blanking plates that Jetsam provide with the Kiss. It's for a little project I have in mind

Then you better find someone with a lathe who's willing to turn one for you. Takes a couple of minutes so shouldn't be 'that' expensive, setting everything up takes more time than the actual run...
