I posted a thread earlier about converting the yoke on a T2x to a titanium DIN under Basic Scuba...
I'm still waiting on a response from Atomic, but since then I've been looking at a number of other posts and found one where the author was discussing DIY conversions with a link to scubatools.com
I'm comfortable around tools, so with that in mind, if I got my own torque wrench and the appropriate socket, couldn't I just do the conversion myself. This would allow me to switch out the connection type whenever I wanted without having to purchase the titanium DIN-to-yoke adapter ($440).
Torque wrench:
3/8" Drive Dial Torque Wrench - $165
Sockets (not sure what size the Atomic T2x uses)
X-Long 5/16" Hex Key Socket - $16
X-Long 6mm Hex Key Socket - $16
If the first stage was a soft metal (such as brass) I'd have reservations but this is titanium.
Does it sound nuts if I was to DIY with the appropriate tools?
And honestly, as long as I'm doing this properly, how would anyone know the difference warranty wise?
