Troopacoola[TK] Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Posted January 22, 2017 Those who know me, know that the last six months of 2016 have not been the best. However, I'm feeling stronger than ever, and thanks to the support I've had from my amazing lady Jo, the boy, and close friends (you know who you are!) Along with new friends I've met (who don't even realise that they've helped - and you have!) I begin an new chapter in my life starting tomorrow. Thank you all #excited! Marc 4 Quote
Troopacoola[TK] Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Posted February 11, 2017 So whilst others have been enjoying Telford, I had more work to do on my lid. I decided to rip out all the old tech and start over. Lined the lid black. Then decided on a red theme for the interior detail. Next will be to install the wireless mic system Hearing assist (with a little more modding) And then on to swapping out the fans for 5v ones Marc 4 Quote
humperdingle Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 I've just been looking at wireless headsets. Ordered a TRamp system but they no longer have wireless headsets included. There seem to be loads of generic types and brands. Very confusing as to which one might work best! Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Will let you know.. it comes charged, but I'm going to fit the rest of my gubbins and then test it. Both are usb charged and the kit comes with a split charger to charge both at the same time, which is good. Need to buy some of those plug sockets with USB chargers built in for all my gizmos!

Risvang[501st] Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 On the last leg of the lid build now. Ive installed the mic and padding ( along with a custom cog ) so all that's left to do is trim down the bolts and fit the chin strap. Im quite happy with how its come out and how the interior looks. Just waiting for the wireless transmittter to turn up now. For those interested, here is a pic of the computer nuts I used to mount the lenses along with how I did it Along with the modelling clay. Its a really simple job, but hard to put into words. I will try my best to explain ! 1. I removed the face plate as this gave me more room to work, but I guess it can still be done without doing this. 2. I mounted the nuts (with the bolts already screwed into them to avoid any putty getting into the nuts) into a small amount of modelling putty and rolled them into small cylinders. 3. Once dry I removed the screws from the nuts and marked out where the were going to go in the lid, test fit them and then sanded down the bottoms until the lay flush with the eyes. 4. Once dry, then it was time to install. I mounted the sockets by using ca glue and then addad more clay to stick the socket to the lid and improve the look. 5. I then offered up each lense and marked the position of the top outside post. I then punched the hole for the first screw, fitted the lense and then tightened it up when I was happy of its position. Doing this secured the lense whilst I marked the other holes. 6. I then removed the lenses, painted the new mounts white. Once dry I took off the protective film and installed the lenses again.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Am good brother! It all depends on which lid you've got. I used 10mm nuts. As long as they're small enough and lay flush with the inside of the sockets, you could always put some styrene tubing cut to length below the nut, mounted in resin putty....if that makes sense?

Marc I've Got a RS full com ANH stunt Bucket.Good good, it makes perfect sense. Coz my sockets are not that "deep" so i might be able to use normal nuts, with a small piece of tubing underneath it in the puddy I recon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

Troopacoola[TK] Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Posted February 14, 2017 On the final stage of the lid renovation. All electronics removed and replaced. The only thing to left to do is install the wireless mic. Marc Quote
