I was so impressed with @Rob Fisher 's "Tank to drill adapter" used for polishing his amazing collection, that I decided to make my own ... a 50mm long piece of 10mm stainless rod drilled to depth of 10mm at 6.5mm and then tapped to M7*0.5, and we have;
(I'll pass naming rights back to Rob)

Open for orders? My metal work skills ends at wrapping my own coils....
Sure :)
Interesting that you say wrapping your own coils, as I think I'm going to cut a slot in the other end and then cross drill it and tap half the cross drilling, as then it could double up as clamp to hold wire(s) parallel when making coil wires. It'd be a better solution to the common practice of simply shoving wires into a chuck and hoping for the best ;)
 
Today I cleaned out the BB. Re-wicked and refilled. Removed the screws.(inspired by @Chronix 's BB) with my home made screw extractor.
The screen is busted, but I read that these clones have that issue. So I just cleaned out the mod.
I'm hoping to replace the screen and get new screws. If I don't get them I'll just rework them (cut slots) to fit a flat screwdriver. Oh and I raised the possitive pin by adding solder and cutting it down then sanding flat. My batteries didn't make contact and only one of them actually worked in there.IMG-20201225-WA0037.jpeg IMG_20201225_181658.jpg IMG_20201225_181802.jpg
If I do find a screen I might respray or powder coat it.
