Flippa_s4 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Long time lurker, first time poster: I've been working on putting together my first armor - an ATA abs kit. First time ever trying such a task and I have to say through reading this forum almost daily and checking out some of the awesome resources on the site it's been easier than I expected. I have however stuck with a final few pieces (pic attached) I get that the 3 on the left are for the detonator on the belt - but is there a piece I'm missing? I can't figure out how this piece all goes together to look good - any tutorials or tips on this part (I couldn't find through search) The piece on the right I have no idea what that's for - I'm just hoping its not like when I take the DVD player apart and then put back together again only to find I have a 'few extra parts left over' Any help or advice guys and gals that you could provide would be amazing. Looking forward to posting some completed pics and becoming more involved in the forum. Thanks in advance, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhapsodyred99[TK] Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) the parts on the right are for covering the rivets that attach the plastic belt to the canvas belt you cut them out the TD looks to be missing the gray pipe you would cut the controls out and glue them to the gray pipe then put the end caps on, here is a link to an rs build (from Desert's centurion post) that shows the TD assembled around the gray pipe.------------ Edited January 21, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 And on the far right is the belt rivet covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potty Meister Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 is it just a 2" pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flippa_s4 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ah ha! That makes a lot more sense now! Is the gray pipe just schedule 80 conduit? Looks easy enough to put together but are there any tutorials with sizing etc. I'm usually pretty handy on search but can't seem to find detonator threads. Thanks for your reply and setting me on the right track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7[TK] Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yep. Its just a pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhapsodyred99[TK] Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just make sure it actually fits your endcaps! My RS endcaps are super tight on the piece of European pluming pipe they sent me (i understand the original suits used those so not sure how they fit american standard pluming). I would take your trimmed end caps to the store with you to make sure they will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
