Excal Battery Pod End Caps?

[bigscoop]

Can't seem to find them on ebay anymore and the one I have now just became toast, all cracked up. Anyone know where these end caps can be had now days or I'm just going to have to order the entire pod?

How long has it been since you had to buy a pod Bigscoop? Just curious. lol
Will an acrylic kit seal up what you got? I get the little fingernail kits in the cosmetics isle at wallyworld.
They cheap enough, and I don't have 700 yrs worth of product.
Good luck, maybe someone will chime in, or ask down in the dealer or brand section, too.

I go through an end cap just about every year. Never had a problem finding them before. Typically I can see the cracks start but this time they just sort of showed up all of a sudden. Figure I'd better get one ordered again.

Bigscoop, you're in luck. I got an alkaline battery pack with a used Excal I bought last year and the body is cracked but the cap seems to be good. Send a pm if you want me to mail it to you.

Give OBN a shout. I am sure he has access to some.

Fletch is going to fix me up. Talked to OBN and he's bone dry as well.

you are tightening them down too hard. i found this out. keep a good rubber seal. they dont need to be cranked down.just barely tight had one for 3 years now. brand new.

I believe you are correct. But it's pretty much a requirement here even with a good seal and sealant. Just no way to avoid the constant pounding if you're going to do much water hunting here. Wish it wasn't so.

I have Harold in Florida looking for the parts, I can make the endcap but need the pins, May have to go and make my own, something for this winter...these should last the life of the battery pod
