You are tooooooo kind Clamps. Just trying to whittle away the hours, waiting for armor ahhhhhhr, don't know how others do it LOL. Hopefully I have all the info, and I have a copy of the proposed new requirements to be listed soon, so I should be right aiming for Centurion from the start. Just waiting for that armor is ready to ship email
Using the electronics from a $6.00 toy gun.
Assembled on the front which is hidden in the pipe, added another speaker and a red hi-bright led
Fitting a small micro swith, spring and trigger
Found a small push battery light, using the front cover as it will give a nice look inside the pipe instead of just seeing the one led. Even with only one led the beam of light is quite intense.
Yes the lines you have drawn look good to trim, just take your time, trim, check, trim, check. Found at first I was cautious too but by the end you think what was all the fuss about lol. Good luck with the build
Like I said in my how to thread http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/20893-how-to-recess-press-studs/ use a heat gun and form your snap plate to any shape, works well for me, good luck what you decide
Ok thanks. Just on another point I know that some try to update info and pics but it can be misleading if some of these old post are now incorrect, would it be wise to discard some of them or is it just up to the individual to search read, search read, find something different, scratch head cry panic then search and read again LOL
Can I just add that I found this thread discussing that the use of brads was ok. I will be using split rivets anyway but just wondering what has changed since that thread, I wouldn't think brads would be very strong but apart from that if they were the right size there shouldn't be any problem.
Thanks for clarifying Mathias I just wanted to know so I dont start my build and make mistakes that I thought were right. There would no doubt be more first timers wanting this info too.
