Quote... Saw on their Facebook someone comment the thread is not long enough to use with the titanium set up.
Def double check that though mate. You get some right Joeys, saying some right old crap on the internet. That comment might just as easily be some other fella with a dream, trying to sell bobbins, or something like that.
It says on the Solar blurb it fits all their indicators. Be shocked if it did not.

I did think that when I read it,I know Dobbins Bobbins make line clips and someone on there also asked for a longer thread to fit with the titanium set up.Do they need a longer thread for some reason and I would be shocked if Solar got this wrong too

Hi, if you click on pics then magnify, you see alot of detail.
Are you sure its rust & not some stain. Funny how just in those little areas.
Rub it with a scouring pad.

I have removed it already, WD40 and a wire brush did the trick. It was not actual rust but something we call "Flugrost" in german. Not sure there is a direct translation for this, but it's basically "external rust" which very likely comes from "contaminated" salt, if that makes any sense. If you have a white car in Austria, you can see the same Flugrost after a long winter ON the paint, and it's a pain in the ass to remove.

I was able to transfer the Solar heads from my Quiverlocs to my Titaniums.
I'm sure the indicator heads are totally compatible across the whole range

Just google 'inferior Chinese stainless steel'. Or 'Chinese grades of stainless steel' for example, or similar. Once you get past the orchestrated Chinese ad campaigns, you will see. The cheapest most commonly used ones, oxidise. The older stuff, was absolutely terrible.
You will also then see if you delve a bit deeper that the better grades of SS for example, are completely suitable for use with corrosive foodstuffs. Including pure sodium/salt, no problems whatsoever. Cheap grades of Chinese SS oxidise. You may of cleaned it off, but your oxidisation will return, likely worse.
It's quite a common problem. See a recent release of an expensive SS pen knife, that oxidised for some customers almost immediately out of the box, as a very recent example. Cheap SS banksticks do exactly the same thing, weird rust coloured spots in random places.
When the original Solar stainless kit was made, the UK were not even importing cheap grade Chinese or far east SS. Nor were Germany I'd imagine.

Do you think it's good as it is or do you miss the adjustable line clip strength?

Solar hanga ball line clips on the left, matrix clips on the right.
I sold my set of four solar hangaball clips and changed them to matrix. Silly money!

Do they fit the Solar Titanium arm system, and what\where can I get those?
I like the arm\system, but can't stand the Solar heads.

Either defiant MPS http://www.defiantmps.com/ or Dobbins Bobbins on FB do heads that will fit Solar gear, both do fantastic work
