Better warp+loader adapter?

[Duke Henry]

CLARIFICATION

Apparently, I can't distinguish between perpendicular and parallel.

Anyway, my warp sits PARALLEL to the gun, at almost 180 degrees, and I want my HALO to sit in the same position (directly in line with the warp).

So, the problem was that the HALO would basically cover up the warp output hole.

The piece I have fashioned now will work, once I dremel the top half of one of the pf plugs in the warp adapter.

I am still open to suggestions as to how to make a better adapter.

Ideally, I would even considering using something similar to the warp adapter, but different in a few ways:

Have the standard adapter like the one shown below as a base.



Now, you should see three "outlets". The one on the left has a thinner OD size, and it slides into the warp nicely. This works great.

Now, the top "outlet" is usually where your powerfeed plug goes. Personally, this has little use for my setup, and the added height of the powerfeed plug is problematic.

Thirdly, the right "outlet" is where another change needs to be made. For me, I would prefer either to have the tightening screw moved to the bottom, or a different style of connector made (one that is roughly the same size as this all too familiar warp piece:



So, with all of this being said - what does this leave me (and every other warp+halo user who may want to have the most straight setup)? Well, basically all I see myself needed is an L-shaped piece of plastic that has the left "output" size hold to go into my warp, a molded (or bent, or whatever you want to call it) bend in it, and then the other end should be able to have a warp hose plug into it (with o-rings of course) so that I don't need to use the potentially plugged up double adapter I have going now. Ideally for me, I would like the hose to be straight vertical (like what I have now), but that would require another bend to get the piece vertical.

Thoughts, opinions? Can anyone make this, or know of where I could get such a monster?

Mwahahaha, after going out and spending 2 bucks on a piece of CPVC pipe, digging around and finding some nice hose, (and eventually finding some paint to paint the adapter) this is what I came up with:



I am pleased with the final product, and it looks much better now that it is painted (the adapter of course).

Very nicely done. Much cleaner than the two 90*s

nice job, need to do the same for my setup. what are the specs for the hose and pvc pipe?

[Duke Henry]

Thanks, I don't know about the hose (I think it could be old air hose for that blow up furniture style stuff), but I know about the PVC pipe.

It is a 3/4" 45 degree street elbow. Make sure you get a street elbow, because if you get a regular 45 degree elbow it will have the same size ends (for the warp hose), and won't be able to slide into the warp itself.

Thanks

Appreciate the info. I'll post my finished product.
