X-metal Juliet’s for life

[adamgni]

Howdy all.
After lurking for far too long I’ve finally joined. I’ve just ordered the flex nose couplers and pins for repairing my Juliet’s nose bridge after sitting gathering dust for far too long.

It looks fairly straightforward to do with a clamp and nail punch, anyone think different?

Cheers! I was worried there wasn’t a huge amount of life about here, good to see x-metal love still strong

Aloha. Welcome to the Forum.

Personally, I'd avoid the "clamp and nail punch" method of replacing the pins because you destroy the finish on your framed. I'd recommend sending them to either @zwc0442 or @THE X-MAN to have them tuned up correctly.

Yeah don't do that. You need to press the pins out not punch them out. You'll most likely mushroom the pin and damage the nose.

Well.. I sure as hell don’t want to do that! Thanks for the heads up, I think I would cry if that happened and that wud not be a pretty sight.

Welcome to the forum. Definitely recommend the X-Man. I’ve had many services from him.
