Wiska tail kit gland

[gazdkw82]

Anyone used those wiska slim tail kit glands?

Tried using one today. Not sure it's worth the extra work.

Had a 32mm knockout on the board. The gland specifies 32mm. I put it in and it just kept falling out.

Decided to drill a slightly smaller hole. Got to 32mm on the cone drill bit and it wouldn't go in. Eventually got it in.

Pushed the 25mm tails in. They were that tight that it caught the outer sheath and all that was happening was the inner sheath was moving. I eventually managed to get the tails to move properly but it was a game

I've never had a problem with them.

sure you have the 25mm main tails gland and not the 16mm?

Proper gland and Doncaster easy-fit tails

sure you have the 25mm main tails gland and not the 16mm?

Tbh, I didnt realised there were different sizes

The entry holes for tails say 07-12. Guessing that's the problem?

 

[telectrix]

they have 2 sizes 25/16 and 16/10 dependent on your tails sizwes.

Push a bit of 25mm through it?

They're plastic.

That's no good.

You want metal ones you can polish. Who doesn't like to polish their gland?
