Guest jedislayer5000 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 i have the resin cast mic tips, and screen mesh here... but im not sure how to cut out the screen mesh or how to mount the mesh in the mic tip without it just falling out?

john danter Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) I drew a circle on the mesh with a flet pen (a little bigger than you need - so the outside diameter of the tip to mark the circle) Cut it out with scissors and pushed it in from the rear to the front Ends up a domed shape and won't fall out Not sure who's tips you have though?

john danter Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Yeah it is a pain plus it depends what mesh you have Let's see what the others say as all mine have been hollow Or make yours hollow and go for a lid speaker system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 If they are hollow mic tips it is best to glue a backing plate on made from ABS (or any plastic). Drill a hole in the middle to bolt them into your helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 All mine are hollow. I supply the mesh pre cut. I've found the easiest way is to find an insert that fits the top where the mesh goes. Place the mesh over the insert and hold securely. Then you simply cut round it with some small wire snips. I'll take a pic when I get home from work tonight. If you mess up I have plenty of mesh to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebectrooper Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 i simply use peanut butter and it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I placed the wire mesh over a 12mm socket and cut off the excess. Then slowly worked the mesh into the mic tip, working one corner then working the opposite and so on till it was where I wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
