Pro team product's 90* warp adapter? Probably the most stable.

Luke's 90* warp adapter + hoseclamp (I like mine, but it's kinda loose, won't support a hopper.)

Standard 90* warp adapter?

[BiNumber3]

i was actually thinking of doing this as well, using a micromag powerfeed modified to fit the warp, and then installing an ego feedneck on that, since i have a spare powerfeed and nuttin else to do with it.
I had a pirana a while back with a side vert feed as well, maybe if you could find a scrap one, take that off n mod it to fit.

by modding, i'd mean to cut the inside of the powerfeed so it'd fit over the warp neck, and installing set screws or something. there might be a better way to do it tho

Gangsta style?

like that. thats what i want to do. anyone know where to get a 90* like that? and why add the feedneck?

That looks to me like a Luke's 90* modified with some clamps.

speaking of luke, i forgot what his website is....?

This may sound crazy, but the most reliable 90 degree elbow I have found has been a 90 degree bend copper elbow. Everything else just bunches up paintballs when they hit the turn.

That's what Luke sells.

[Bagheera]

That's what Luke sells.

So does home depot, but you gotta customize them a bit unless you get them from luke.

That's what Luke sells.

what does he coat them with?

[vf-xx]

what does he coat them with?

I think he powdercoats them. I know he powdercoats his warp mounts.

It would be really nice to be able to mt the hopper that way. I've been thinking for months of having something welded up. Man, I need access to a welder.

i would go with a copper elbow at home depot. Then I would cut an X into each opening about 1/2-3/4 inch deep. Then I would put a hose clamp on each side.

[Madmarx]

I might have one... lemme get you a pic.

edit 1 : Don't think it's what you want... looks like it's from a Q-loader kit

edit 2:
Yup this is what I have: http://www.qloader.com/products/acc_90dfeed.jpg

i made one ill post pics up if anyone would like. just used a pvc 90* elbow and i attached a feedneck to it. fits tight and feeds good.

That is exactly what I did, and it works like a charm. I'll post pics later.

Silly question - for this kind of thing to work (90 degree elbow to mount a loader above a warp mount), do you need to use a force feed loader or does it work well with a gravity feed loader?

[Bagheera]

I personally wouldn't do it without some sort of force feed loader. However, there are people here who have more experience teching things and with designing custom equipment, so I'll defer to them when they pop up.

That's what I thought. . . back to hoping that one day AGD cuts up some 45-degree feed ULE bodies. :D

Nice work. Now just some direct-to-plastic paint and you're good! One question, is the inner radius of the elbow a smooth 90 degree tunnel, or does it have a sharp hump, like I've seen with many PVC elbows? Just curious, because if it has that sharp hump you're asking for problems. This is the reason I use copper tubing, it's smooth all the way.

[crazyjoe12]

its smooth, works great. what kind of paint are you talking about?

[Bagheera]

You can get it at Home Depot or any hardware store, it's a direct-bond-to-plastic type of paint, no primer needed. The can of paint I got has a picture of a plastic lawn chair on it.
