Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Returning M400 owner questions

From: Ben Stuyts <yahoo@stuyts.nl>

Hi Chris,

See attached photo’s. There are 5 catches. The ones on the lid have a footprint of about 25 ∗ 7 mm and a height of 10 mm. The ones inside the Tron have a footprint of 43 x 7.5 mm and are also 10 mm high.

I’m not 100% sure that these are the original ones, so maybe somebody else can do a quick check and verify. But I don’t see any markings that anything was different in the past.

Kind regards,
Ben

Thanks Ben for the links.

I would like to order some ball catches/strikes for my M400. One problem, though: I see there are varying lengths of the catches (and strikes), at least among the links you have shared. I would want something that is as close as possible to what the majority of M400s have. Anyone know the lengths/dimensions of their lid catches and the corresponding strikes? Or someone that can measure them?

Cheers,
Chris
