Laydown adapter

[Kot]

Does anybody know how to create a crystal adapter similar to the ones AtomicMods offers for the Mini-Z AWD chassis? This may be helpful to a lot of people who arent accessible to making purchases online (and on a tight budget to say the least).

EVEN BETTER: is someone willing to cut open their Laydown Adapter and show its 'anatomy'? I have some useless gen1 xmods boards (with the crystal thing) so I would rather make one if it were as simple as i think it is.

This is more in the direction of a Mini-Z related question, but no one really visits there. But, this could also be more of a general electronics question (If a mod wishes to move this to the Mini & Micro section, feel free since its your power to do so.)

It is extremely simple.... I just made 5 of them last week. ... 2 holes and 2 pins.. that's it. You can take an old crystal plug from any old board, and solder 1/16" brass rod to the back... bend and stick in. You basically just extending the holes. I have all the parts to make them very nice, just send me a PM. I can take some photos also.

Here is the anatomy..... Pretty simple.


Here is one of mine... This is for replacing the fixed crystal in the Xmods Street. This uses a thinner rod than doing one for a Mini-Z or extension in general.
