JT 3.0+Storm Electronic Grip

[pete16]

Just got my electronic grip and brought it to paintball shop in area to get it installed. The bottomline is not long enough to fit on my new trigger frame. Heard you need a adaptor or something to get this fixed!?!?!? where can i get this or how do i fix my dilemma here........NEED YOUR HELP JT OWNERS

[pete16]

come on people i heard it was possible please tell me how.....

[weefek]

the bottom line isn't long enough? just get a longer hose

[pete16]

thats the problem the JT has female connections for its hoses opposed to the normal male making it impossible to just put on a longer hose. any more suggestions.....thanks anyway

I was just thinking of another way to fix this problem besides a custom dropforward and I think I got it. Get a bar of aluminum 1" wide x 1/8" think x about 4". Drill hold to attach the dropforward from the JT to the bar. You will have to counter sink the screws. Next measure, to attach bar to the frame. Basically, you are just extending the frame/dropforward. I don't know how much space you have to work with but check it out. It might or might not work. I haven't have a chance to look.

Some of your better autoparts stores might be able to help you find an adapter. NAPA has all kinds of adapters and you might be able to use 1 or 2 to help bridge the gap.

This just adds to my long time suspision that the JT guns are being produced by Kingman under contract, much like ACI made the original Trracer for PMI.

It is quite possible that your gun has the same metric threading as a Spyder, where practically every other gun in the market uses standard 1/8" threads. The next to replies are determined by your answer to this question.

Do you want to keep your original bottomline adapter?

Yes?
If this is the case the only way I can think to fix it is by getting at least 1 of the microline fittings from a Spyder Shutter (just call Kingman up and ask for it) and combine that with a 32* Autococker Macroline kit (available at 888paintball.com). That should work for you if my theory is correct. If it is metric threade ay both ends, you will need 2 of the Shutter's fittings.

No?
You will need a 32* Autococker Macroline kit and a standard 2-hole, in-line bottomline adapter. If you have the Spyder ELCD frame, you can use a new BL adapter if not you must go by the above method.

What kind of frame do you have anyway? I can tell you right now the Piranha frame most certainly will not work.

THis may confuse you so feel free to contact me via AOL Instant Messenger with questions and hopefully we can get you squared away.

pbpimp,

JT said that there markers are made in Taiwan and that is the reason that it is metric. I don't know if they are made by Kingman or not, but I doubt it is. The marker is of better quality than all the Spyders I have seen.

The problem with the JT is not the metric fitting but that the forgrip end of the SS line is female and not male. El Zerro is right about be able to find an adapter or something at an auto shop. A lot of cars us metric fittings. Look for an adaptor that is female on both ends. Look for one that is made for brakes or high preasure fuel lines.
