It may also fit other polar scopes, measure your scope to find out.
The adapter fits directly to the scope, there is no need to use a second adapter.
It secures to the polar scope using either three M3 x 6mm or #4 x 1/4" screws. (Not included)
I recommend using the 6mm thumbscrews that are normally sold for use with computer cases.
The easy way to install the screws is to drive them using a power drill, the spinning of the drill will heat the screw due to friction, and once heated they will self-tap the nylon plastic.
Each screw tightens up against a special internal nylon tab. This prevents metal-on metal contact or damage to the polar scope finish.
- The natural color of the Nylon 12 SLS power is gray.
- This material will darken slightly and smooth out with use.
- Dying may be added for an additional cost (Click here).
The nylon material can be dyed or painted.
- Dying:
- Rit Dye or any Nylon fabric dye may be used.
- It is not possible to make the colors brighter with dye.
- Black, Dark green, Dark Red, Dark blue may be achieved
- Painting:
- Any plastic compatible paint may also be used, apply in very thin light coats until completely covered. Heavy application may affect tolerances.
- I have found Ace Hardware Matte Enamel paints to work particularly well.
