Anyone Using Meshwheel Mod?

Holy Crap!!! That is the biggest rip off I have seen in a while!!!

The meshwheel mod is AWESOME!!! I did it on my ASM G3X and it was noticably better. I did it for like $3.

Seriously, find someone to sell you a material called Enkmat (PF4???) on the DIY forum for like $2. Clip the pins off your old wheel and ziptie it on. You could also use gutterguard like in the ripoff auction, but does not work as well as the mesh but still better then the stock pins. Takes like 10 minutes tops. If you want, I'll do it for you if you bring the stuff!!

The reason I bought that one is to keep from clipping the pins off my stock one.

1. I've read the mesh mod can be very noisy & some people don't use them because of the noise they create.

2. Its nice to have a back up needle wheel.

Might change out the material to PF4, but I didn't want to destroy my stock needle wheel.
 
I can agree with having an extra wheel so I can understand that logic.

Yes it is louder, but that is due to the increased air intake. Make a silencer like markandkristen suggested and it quiets right up.
 
Where are you placing the 35mm film caniater DIY "silencer" on the air intake tube? Did you put cotton in the film canister and drill holes in the top of the film canister lid?
 
I actually used a small water bottle. Just drilled a hole in the cap and one in the base. Put the end of the tube in one hole and use a small peice (2") of tube in the other hole. Quiet as can be now!

Do you have a picture of this? I'm having a hard time visualizing.


Thanks all for your imput :)
 
Meshmod is awesome!!!! Watch it carefully for the first week until you adjust it to where you wanted. Withing 4 days of me doing the mod I pulled over 32 oz og medium skimmate

just like he said with the water bottle
on the base (bottom of the 35mm film container) cut a whole hole the same size diameter or (just a tine bit smaller then the diameter of your air line tubing) where your air line is fit snug through the whole

then on the cap of the 35 mm container cut another whole same size and stick a small piece like 2 inches of your air line hose through the cap.
leave like 1 inch hanging out. then close the 35mm film container and walah you have a silencer.


basically your cutting off 2 inches of the end of your air line hose ... then using the 35mm film container as your coupling.

Good call sunkool. I didn't even notice that.

Is that the PF4?

I stand corrected. That is Enkmat mesh.

No problem man, thanks for the offer to help. :)
