Oddly you're suggestion came at the same time as we were already discussing the idea. :D It was pretty obvious the top of the page was getting very busy with sticky threads so it definitely needed doing. :cheers:

While were at it, is multitool TLC a mod? I always thought that was a general category type topic.

I can even start it by asking where people get their 2.2mm brass rods. ;)
I found 2.5mm easy enough on ebay and amazon but can't find 2.2 on either of those. Gonna do some more googling.
EDIT: We should add this thread to the top post!

That would help initiates such as myself whether interested in doing it ourself or having it done. It's probably been explained a meelion times, why not post a link or explain it here. Then next time it comes up, just point them to it.

I believe Al (50ft-Trad) had a line on some a while ago, but I don't know if that's still the case or if it's a practical answer.

They dont make 2.2 in north america but K&S do make 2.5mm and you can find that on ebay/amazon. If its just for a couple of mods I would recommend buying 3/32 size for the 2.2mm. It is 2.38 mm and its not too hard to sand that down with a cordless drill to get it to 2.2 :tu:

I want to make a "maxed out" flight version of the minichamp (basically remove the two blades and reshuffle the remaining components accordingly).
I also want to figure out a way to take a cybertool 34 and add the 58mm combo tool (bottle opener/phillips head piece) and either the 74mm or 58mm orange peeler to it, and likely remove the scissors as well.
I think it would be neat to take a 91mm small blade and cram it into a minichamp as well, also removing the two native blades in the process. Is that feasible.
TIA for any/all advice
EDIT: Instead of a maxed out flight minichamp, I would like to take a jetsetter 3 (combo-phillips + scissors, t&t), and replace the toothpick scale with a pen scale, and the scissors with the 58mm orange peeler + ruler/sd tip (any recommendations how to turn the other side of that into a file like they should have done from day 1?). Is there any way to modify a default 58mm scale to hold both the toothpick and the tweezers? parallel diagonal is what I'm thinking, but I bet those rivets would get in the way.

I can't answer many of your questions but I do know that Syph007 was working on a solution for bringing the T&T together with a light and pen in the 58mm. It's not what you were asking for but it does allow you to bring all the 58mm scale tools. See link (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,43286.msg696229.html#msg696229)
As for the ruler/SD I would recommend going from the other direction, adding a ruler to a file with SD-tip should be much easier (some sort of etching preferably).

Do these only work with the Alox models, and if they would work with the Angler how do I ensure that their long enough (they don't list the measurement units on the site).
http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=60_83&products_id=471
Alternatively, I'll just use the regular pins in the guides.

I'm trying to replace the main blade on a Angler (91mm), I'm looking for screw pivots to replace the rivets once I remove them.

You will find that the pins on the 91 mm SAKs are a mix of 2.5 and 2.2 mm, quite a bit smaller than 1/8". Unless you have the tools to drill the holes pinning will be the way to go.

...but, some of them are rather out of date what with the lack of photos coming through from Photobucket. Maybe it's time for an update: either re-adding the original photos or advising in the original post which guides now lack photos.
I'm sure the ones that no longer have photos will still be useful though. Well, I hope so! Either way, I'm grateful for their existence.

My new plan is to make a three layer 93 mm. Chisel layers aside (which may or may not end up with an electrician blade), I want to have one layer work two main blades in. For whittling I want as short blade as possible to keep control without using too much force. So the blades will probably be one wharncliffe (see picture for the idea of it if unsure) and one with a shortened version of normal Victorinox shaped one.
My thinking is about the spring - is it possible to reshape the spring to accommodate a second main-blade instead of the awl?
