Lense fitting

[Troopacoola[TK]]

Hello!

I am in the middle of my first build and was wondering how to fit my lenses. I have two individual lenses and can't figure out how others fit them to their lid.

Advice would be much appreciated

I used Chicago screws glued inside works great

Cheers mate, Looks great. I like the plasdip. Did something similar myself ...

 

 

TK build on hold for the time being as I need to get my e-11 build done in order to get cleared by my Garrison. It's taking longer than my armour build. But, if you're gonna build one, best do it right, right?

Oh yeah. I did ESB guy in our area built me one for around 180$ looks great though. I had the plasti dip laying around so why not right ! Plus I just glued the back of the screws to a piece of abs and it all worked out well I think.

I have pondered this same question. I've seen a few different ways of securing the lenses inside, but I came up with a different idea. I am going to use foil tape, the kind HVAC techs use on duct work. It's very sticky and can be molded to fit very well. Plus, I figured if I needed to remove the lenses for whatever reason,all I need to do if peel it off.

No idea is a bad idea as long as it works imo.
