Question about Modifying a Mouthpiece

Post by Mike Lopp »

I have a old King 26. I love the depth of the cup but the rim is too small.
Can I have a bigger rim put on the cup? I need a bigger inner diameter.
33.5 mm for example.

You could have Houser Mouthpieces cut off the rim and thread it so it will accept any of his rims.

It looks like Hauser has suspended in modification operations until they get their current backlog taken care of. Bummer
