I have a Whtye T-130 which has a maxle on the rear, I also have a Bird Zero TR which has a maxle light on the rear. Is there any reason they are not interchangeable? I prefer the way the maxle light works and I’m thinking I could buy one to replace the ‘standard’ maxle on the T-130 – anyone do this or know why it would be a bad idea?

Bump in the hope someone might be able to help

If the lengths and thread pitches are the same, it will be fine. Easiest way to check is take both out and see if the threads mesh / line up.

I recommend replacing with a bolt up version like those from Mt Zoom. Work better, weigh less, cheap.

Cheers will compare the two types
