I still haven't been able to get the Jade aligned. I'm pretty discouraged and thinking of cutting my losses and putting it on ebay. I don't really want to spend more money to send it to a sabersmith, that sort of defeats the purpose of ordering something to put together yourself. The HR I'm still happy with, but I'm in a situation where I wouldn't keep it if I didn't keep both of them.
That kinda sucks. How does your GF feel about the alignment? To guess with the difficulty you're having the pieces will still be loose. Can you Post a picture with how you would prefer it to be aligned? Don't have the Parts myself but Shims, Sanding & O-Rings aside I would think there's a way. Revisiting the Parts in ASP Shop, Emitter=female and Switch=Male and tightened by default=(starting Post picture) right?
The benefit of an All-Black switch is the threads are black too. How much is left if you tighten it short? Can you explain why the Sanding and Shims don't return success?
Any last ditch recommendations for alignment?
Pending your replies above, (without understanding why right now the ineffectiveness of Sanding & Shims) is it an option to short tighten it and glue in that part, minimally exposing some or part of the thread and shortfill it with an O-Ring?
