TerranCmdr Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Okay, we're working on getting the pin out now, but it's stuck right in there. We don't really have anything to hit it out with, either. O.o k well a little work got that sucker out. So here's the piston head thing. Surprisingly it looks relatively undamaged to my eyes... Actually, I'm retarded. It's pretty effed up. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 yeah, it looks pretty cracked at least the two white lines look like cracks. do the cracks go all the way through? is there a flap that is free to move about? if not look for damage to the runners that the loading nozzle sits in and the auto sear and auto sear retaining spring. I am sorry to leave you like this but I have to go out. well done so far getting this thing to bits and we'll get it sorted. No dramas. Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 There's no flap that can move about freely. The cracks go all the way to the bottom and move about halfway across the outside of the head. As far as I can tell, nothing else is damaged. Thank you again for your help on this by the way. I really really appreciate it. ...Now I have a whole bunch of TMP strewn across my desk. lol. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I always have a lot of TMP parts strewn across my desk. When I get in tonight I'll start taking pics of all the parts in good nick so you can find which one of yours is broken. I still vote piston head though. Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Sorry mate I just got pinged to go to Canada early, I won't have time to do the pics. Try to check your parts for damage, especially friction surfaces. I'll post when I'm back and we can talk again. Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Okay, thanks again, it's nice to know that my TMP won't be dead forever. (Hopefully!) Link to post Share on other sites
tiksom Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 ...Now I have a whole bunch of TMP strewn across my desk. lol. Welcome to the club ;-) I've not read the forums for quite some time, I guess that repair guide would have helped you a bit in disassembly: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...showtopic=71133 My spare parts order from DenTrinity has just arrived (after "only" one month of trying to get it out of the Customs), I will enjoy the way they look for a while (neatly packaged in individual bags, with cute japanese hand-made descriptions put inside the bag) and then revive my fleet of TMP/SPPs =) If you can't source your parts from elsewhere, I recommend DenTrinity and their "Special Order" capabilities. Excellent communication and execution, though spare parts are quite pricey. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm back Canada was rubbish and good. work was rubbish, going out on the sauce was legendary. I have been worrying about your poor TMP for three weeks and I need to know if it is working, Did you fix it, is it still in bits? Let me know buddy. Cheers, Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hey, welcome back! It's still in pieces unfortunately. The plastic/rubbery stuff on top of the piston head is definitely cracked. Other than that though I'm pretty sure everything else is in working order. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 do you want me to send you one of my epoxy bodge jobs? It won't hold out forever but it's better than nothing. Prototype metal one will be ready in just over two weeks. unless the guy can't be bothered again. Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think I can hold out for the metal one. Hopefully I'll have some money by then. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 metal TMP stuffs! NOWWW! any news on stock? Link to post Share on other sites
IronWolf Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Also interested in TMP upgrade parts Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I am going to do one bit at a time, I don't want to stretch myself and go under. The piston is coming when my machinist can be bothered, I am not happy with him at the moment. then cylinder, recoil spring and buffer. Then cosmetics like the stock. I am still working on the marui hop conversion, I have already killed one TMP barrel trying to get it right. Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Hello. Just wondering if there's any update on the piston head? I would really like to get my TMP working again. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Five-sEvEn Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Too lazy and too big of a headache to read the rest of this thread... but if your piston head is cracked, just take a rubber band, cut it to the inner circumfrence of your piston head, take some glue (specifically, something that dries rubbery like E6000), seal it up, and you should be good to go! Worked fine for my first piston head that got f-ed up. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 You are, of course right. I use slow setting (and therefore flexible) epoxy but both will work. Metal piston head has been delayed again by lazy machinists who would rather work for money than do my prototype for free. I'm out of the army now, I have some more free time. I've got a set of calipers and I'll get the damn thing done on e-machineshop.com. I have also aproached a few dealers about wholesale buying the other little parts that let the TMP down. News on that soon. Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Cool, thanks. I'll try that rubber band thing when I get back to my place. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Sorry for the Necro post an all, but any news on upgraded TMP parts stunt? thinking about selling mine but i wont if shiny things are just around the corner Link to post Share on other sites
Fox_Starwing Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Metal stuff... I would be able to resurrect my TMP that was screwed up from the beginning (didn't even get to play with it). The loading nozzle on mine is cracked (The little square thing that strips the bbs from the mag snapped off.) and no I never put in the mag with the bolt forward. My gun is perfect except for that. If anyone wants to buy it for spare parts, it is up for sale. just pm me and I'll give you details. I also have four mags and a supressor (the nice one that has the markings on it and no red tip) Link to post Share on other sites
AGuy Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 FYI if anyone needs parts i am selling a stripped TMp for ~80$ (arnies discount) on http://www.airsoftretreat.com/classifieds/...p?product=11698 Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Tinkerbell, I got messed about by the guy that was going to make them for me, I have hed to teach myself CAD and now I have a design but I just got out the army and have no money. I start a new job on monday and I will save up to build a first batch. So, yes, I will be in business in a couple of months. Fox, I have a supplier for TMP parts and I have some loading nozzles on the way, send me a PM and I will let you know when I get them in. Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 stunt: Any idea how soon? i'd really like to be able to use my TMP with propane knowing i'll be safe from explosions in teh coming summer months. Also, how's the stock design/production coming? Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 The loading nozzles were sent on monday, I am just waiting on them coming in. The metal pistons, Who knows? I have the design I need £300 to make a batch and I don't have it. Once I save the money I can get them in about 40 days. Once I have the first batch I need to check they work, get the right o rings and find a spring that has the right rate. Earliest possible will be May. I am on it though, I will be speaking to the forum moderators about the right place to sell all this stuff. Stunt *edit* Guess what just arrived! TMP Repair business starting soon.
