The tip is 0.8mm and the taper is a straightline taper for 2.5mm's back into the needle...
At 2.5mm the needle is the original size... 1mm thick
I did this to one of my 50's V2 and it really does work very well. it now really wants to go straight up like a rocket. Put the needle in a drill and using a fine file turn it down slowly and watch the magic. I done #2 Raptor now and I did get a second needle from Clark at www.onlyraptors.com just in case I screwed up and went to far but I did not. This works VERY well . :badair: :badair:
