420 Minibar Rotator Filters: Can filters for other bars work?

[crash_over-ride]

Are the stock rotator filters for a 420 specific to the bar, or will rotator filters for other Code 3 bars also work?

It should just use the same filters as the MX7000/Excalibur. They have 2 mounting types to attach to the reflector though.

I saw there are plastic and metal rotator filters, I'd need plastic.
Someone on FB also showed some pictures showing I can used 180 degree circumfrential cylinder filters to surround the rotators themselves.

The earliest 420 came with LP rotators, the latest 420 came with freeform rotators, and in the middle the 420 came with MX rotators.

Please post pictures of your 420 so we can assist in identifying your rotators and, hopefully, recommend which filters your 420 requires.

I believe all plastic rotators use 2 screws offset on the outer edge of the filter so you would need to look for that type. If you are only using it as a display bar you can use either type and just clip it on. As for the other style filter, not sure if they require a mounting bracket like the Excalibur or not but they do fit in that bar.

There are different rotators made for the 420....so naturally different filters. As said above, post a pic of the rotator.

Code 3 went from solid metal rotators that were on par with Federal's Streethawk style to a variety of plastic designs that blackened, faded and dulled quickly. Since LEDs were taking over little effort was made to improve the "new rotators". Like others said, post pics of the rotators and we can tell you which exact filters.

with fast rotator the 2 screws type filter will 'crack' with the time on the freedom rotator...had to put the circle filter...
