Guest Psychedelic Schizophrenic Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the black horseshoe type brackets (Has probably got a proper name but I can't find what it is) on the end of the outside of the rails on a focus fader version 2? I'm trying to access inside both rails so I can put a little rubber o-ring on each end of the rail so it quieter when cutting at unsocial hours etc. Here's a few photos of the horseshoe type bracket (Sorry if the quality is a bit cack, my iPhone camera is shot). Thanks in advance people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nejo Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Yo ! I had the exactly same "E-Clips" (I call'em that way) on my vestax samuraï fader. I believe there is a specific claw to remove them but I used to use a long nose plier to spread them, and it worked perfectly well. Only advice I have would give you is to make sure they don't jump off the rail cause they can be really hard to find afterwards In order to do that I used a small piece of tape so at least they would remain sticked to it. To put them back on you will only have to push them in again (with strength cause they're not easy to bend). If it's not clear for you I'll put some photos of the procedure with my Vestax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexinoodle Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Used to have these things on loads of RC cars when i was younger, heres the trickBuild a catch zone in the corner of two walls with a hoodie or somethingPut a small screw driver in the opposite end to the clip openingLever the screwdriver against the rail end so that it flicks the clip off (I would suggest wearing glasses just in case haha)That bastard should fly straight off now in to the hoodie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nejo Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ok I'll try to that tonight or tomorrow. I'll send you a message when it's done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nejo Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Ok Schizo here's a dropbox link with videos of me demonstrating you how I do it. If you have any questions do not hesitate. I have to say that with time, my clips loosened a little bit but I remember having to push hard when I first opened the mixer. Hope it goes well for you with the video example. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9l9zx2vt9ykra13/AACAjktVilp2TBG-JOivgX-ia?dl=0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
