Finally found my calipers after moving. Shocktech valve is 0.558.

Finally found my calipers after moving. Shocktech valve is 0.558.
I believe the valve chambers started getting smaller around 2000. My Bob Long Cyclone valve (from around 97) will not fit in any 2k+ WGP, but my Tornado valve will still fit them. But that same Tornado valve will not fit in a WGP Unibody. So it appears the valve chambers got even smaller between 2k and the Unibodies production. Yeah... good luck figuring this one out lol.
Here are the ODs of a few valves I have laying around. I've already gave ya the OD of my Tornado valve in the other thread. I've also confirmed that older Belsales valves and PPS LT valves will fit a Unibody, if that helps.
MacDev Red - .5625"
Bob Long Cyclone (pre2k) - .5690"
ANS - .5600"
11/16 Tornado valves
#1 - .6880"
#2 - .6880"
Which CCM valve did you measure? They have a few different versions; the newest is their brass valves. A guy on PbN bought one of the new SFL bodies and CCM internals. The CCM valve would not fit in the SFL body. He had to send the valve and body to Mel. Sooo the new brass CCM valves might be larger or the new SFL bodies might be too small. Just an FYI!
I don't remember the Unibodies ever being released/used. I first saw them on PB Gateways site after WGP was dead. It's nice to hear they might have been made in the US.
edit: I don't have a way to measure the bores, but I'm happy to send ya a bunch of bodies if you'd like to measure them.
Great info. It all helps to paint a picture.
The CCM valves I got are their latest and greatest I believe and they are made from brass.
If Daniel (evil_racecocker) gets his measured it may let us know if we need to measure any others or not.
If you list out what you have and a rough time line that would help us match in with what he and I have. I'd rather not have people shipping valuable gun bodies to me if it can be avoided. I'd just hate to see anything happen to them.
