2STROKIN_IT Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Ok so I didn't wanna spend over $100 on some spark arrestors so I decided to try and make my own with some great results!! By the way I did them on my toomey silencers and my buddy's fmf silencers with the same results. Here's how I did it!! 1st: I took apart my toomey t5 silencers apart via the snap ring and 2 Allen bolts on back I believe they were 5mm.. 2nd: I pulled out the baffle from inside the silencer which came off with the exhaust tip. 3: I removed the tip from the baffle with an adjustable wrench and a mallet. I opened the adjustable wrench just enough to go around the baffle and sit on silencer tip than gave the adjustable a good whack with the rubber mallet and the tip came off 4: Once the baffle was removed I used the bench grinder with a smoother grinding stone to grind down the tip of the baffle that was in the tip of the silencer enough to take a little material off but not enough to mess with the structure of the baffle.. 5: I used a die grinder with a sanding stone to hone out the tip of the silencer where the baffle went into, just shaved off a little to make a little wiggle room so I can install sparky later!! 6: I used a regular spark arrestor I found on the Internet x2 obviously for both silencers and inserted the small end in the baffle and cut to have maybe a 1/2 inch or a bit extra to overlap onto baffle, this goes on the end you grinded down earlier like so 7: So the extra material that was left sticking out of the baffle from sparky needs to be bent down and overlapped on baffle like so. 8: I used a needle nose plier to really pinch the sparky onto the baffle so now you see why grinding was needed earlier on baffle and tip. Cause you are adding extra material with the sparky overlapping on baffle. 9: I used the rubber mallet and hit the silencer tip back onto baffle on the newly fabbed sparky side and it shouldn't take much to do but it should be snug if not going in you may need to hone out the tip a little more 10: Finally you can repack your baffle with new material if you would like which I did since I already had it apart so why not!! Ta daaaa!! Lemme know if it helps and don't mind my airplane in the background!! I was at work! I'm using tapatalk to post so I hope this works!! Happy wrenching amigos!!
