Revvek’s ANOVOS TK upgrades (stunt)

[Revvek[TK]]

I decided to go with long Velcro on the other side of the bell to bicep connection. 
adjustable over time is good… 

 

and it was determined that the way this armor has the knee installed needed to be fixed… 

so, I set about removing it. Not an easy task… but there where spacers under it, so that helped a little… 

needs some cleanup…

Minimal visible damage. Other than the hole in the palm of my hand.  (Put on a glove after that!) this build has had its blood letting moments. That may be the most yet.

 

seems the bottom return edge should be removed, if I understand correctly. 

 

it is what it is.

It can be removed if needed, depends how it sits on the shin, I actually cut a notch out of the front so it sits better on the coverstrip, also helps to keep centred when adding clamps and tape for gluing.

This should do for the TD update.

Trimmed knee return off. 

considered leaving just a bit on either side of the strip, but it was just cleaner this way to me. 

maybe I’ll add a bit of scrap to gap fill if it bugs me.

Just to be really picky and it probably won't be mentioned your clips at the control panel end shouldn't be rounded and screws could be closer to the ends of the clips but as I say I doubt it would come up

because the original builder made the front seem so wide, the knee will never sit flush… (and I can’t get it apart to try and fix that)

So I put a 1/4” thick EVA foam spacer inside to let me glue the center. This also should help some with the knee wanting to go under the thigh. 


Then I glued the sides.

 

waiting on approval…

Hi Steven, It's something strange, I can see your info with no issues. I used  google chrome and firefox. 

 

 

 

[Revvek[TK]]

ok I figured it out, thanks

I still need to find a source for foam to use as padding to help keep a few things aligned better.
