ESB BlasTech E-11 (canon) Hasbro Conversion Kit

[brandontrueblue[TK]]

Hi I am a new member to FISD, so please excuse the green horn questions if obvious to some below.  I'm in the process of building a ESB BlasTech E-11 (canon) Hasbro Conversion Kit and would like level 2 clearance in the 501st.  Can someone offer tips/guidance for the following?  I've reviewed posts here on FISD and cannot find info on the following.  Thanks

 

1) I dremmeled out a channel on the side of the blaster to show the breach spring, channel was pre-existing on the blaster and I just dremmeled out.  Should the breach spring be a flat black in color or left as is?  I've seen a mix of pictures with and without a cocking lever.  I use an aluminum post (cylinder in shape) an inch and quarter in length and about a quarter of an inch in width as the cocking lever for the breach spring?  I can cut the post to make it shorter if needed.  Is it ok to have a cocking lever added and is the length and width I have for the aluminum ok?  Should a bolt or cylinder be added to rest inside the breach spring to resemble a real working bolt as part of the cocking mechanism?

2) Does anyone have a tutorial or pics with how to do the following: If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster and you cover all the rows of holes, the blaster will have 7 T-tracks total. But, if you want to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total) with the lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side, then you shall cover the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, and grind off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side and drill a new row of holes in its place.

3) Also the 501st requirements say no power cylinders are present on the magazine housing, from this url below are the power cylinders #7 in the url?  So just do not add them correct?
