Theoben Elan cylinder - sizes

[Robs5230]

Wasn't really sure which section to stick this in so I thought I'd try here.

Does anyone know the dimensions / details of the Elan cylinder ? Length, diameter, capacity?
Not the tiny bottle one.

I've read they were based on an FX cylinder at the time.
Does anyone know anything about them ?

Cheers Rob

I'm sure they were very specific to the Elan and were 60 cc

Here's a picture of it if it helps!

Thanks Titch
I was aware of the 60cc one (I thought it was 64), but I believe Ben used a cylinder rather than a bottle one a later one.

I'm actually looking at trying to reduce the front end weight of a BSA Superten (shock horror) as I don't need a huge shot count, and the elan cylinder / bottle may be one of the only ways.
Though I imagine finding either would be as easy as finding a golden egg laying goose 
It was Bob Armstrong that suggested it

I've found the article showing the cylindered version. Looks like it will be too long anyway for what I need, so I guess I'll need to try and source the 60cc buddy bottle.

Hi Kev
Not at the minute as I'm not actually sure of a size I want.
If I can get some dimensions on the elan cylinder, it would give me a good starting point
If I can get 60 shots per fill, it would do me.

Cheers

Pretty sure I've found something that will fit the bill.
Thanks all

I'm pretty sure they actually gave 50 consistent shots not sure about 60 !

I've got one Rob, I'll dig it out later and check the dimensions if you still want?

100cc buddy bottle would do it mate 👍

I'd appreciate that Phil.

Thats exactly what I've located Daz.
I can get the bare cylinder then buy the bottle valve from best fittings.

I'd like to see the sizes of the elan one though before I buy the 100cc bottle, though I reckon for what I want, the 100 will give me the weight reduction I'm after whilst giving a more than adequate shot count.

No problems, mine is one of the later ones. The tube is quite long & one constant diameter, not like a buddy bottle.

I've just had a look at the article, and that's the one I've got. Apart from a couple of small differences.
Mine doesnt have a lightstream fitted, it's got a nice little hawke sourced from a very helpful gent on the Agf 

Ive also removed the long series mod in favour of a BB mod
