6Ye Quick Head Connector 2nd Gen Question
6Ye Quick Head Connector 2nd Gen Question
Is there any way to insert a bolt or friction connection into the neck for the purposes of removing the head and then suspending the body (from a horizontal bar, etc) ?
I need the info for the 165F that's coming soon.
Thanks a lot gentlemen ! Great forum.
Re: 6Ye Quick Head Connector 2nd Gen Question
I have a M16 bolt and it does screw in, but stops after 2 rotations. It seems like it'll hold the doll's weight no problem.
The big question is, if you hang your doll, how will it affect the ball joint with 70-80 lbs of constant pressure? I'd be afraid of loosening the friction on the joint. If that happens, you'll end up with a floppy neck

-princeoverit. One vendor name kept coming up as being great at helping customers walk through the process, Booty Call Dolls. So I decided I would work with them on this first purchase, and did.

Re: 6Ye Quick Head Connector 2nd Gen Question * more questi
The head is supplied with a 2nd Gen solid rod and I would like to suspend it too for cleaning with water (carefully). Thinking of a rubber hose with a threaded hose clamp to establish a friction coupling over the tip of the rod. The rubber hose can then simply be tied or clipped onto the horizontal bar. Any better ideas out there?
Again, these are short term ideas until I get a better feel for the weight, the skin, the man-handling, the limits of my townhouse, etc.
Thanks for any feedback.

With the information that the 2nd Gen Head Connector only allows 2-3 thread engagements and my desire for a stainless steel eye bolt (carbon steel would pose the risk of surface rust and staining the TPE material), I began my search for an M16 Lifting Eye Bolt, Stainless Steel, Flush Tip. What a search here in the USA !
I tried all the usual suspects: Amazon, home improvement big-box stores, small-box stores, specialty fastener stores, specialty faster internet retailers, etc.
Time after time, carbon steel with a tapered tip, if available in metric at all.
A colleague at the job suggested McMaster Carr (industrial discreet item supplier).....
**** forehead slap *****
Of course !!
Sure enough, Item 3100T14 at http://www.mcmastercarr.com. They do work with consumer end-users, accepted my debit card, and $25 USD later, I have it.
I now have a means of suspending the body (with the standing feet taking the bulk of the weight load) for showering and long-term storage in the closet.
Now, if that gorgeous doll would just show up !!
