Bulldog44[TK] Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Would anybody be able to tell me the correct dimensions for drop boxes at least for the depth? I am working on drop boxes for my RS kit and one of the outer drop boxes is badly formed and trimming will not hide the defect unless I trim it down a considerable amount. This would leave the drop boxes at about 7 or 8 mm in depth. The one on the right has a corner that flares out making it hard to decide how thin or thick to make these boxes. Any advice is greatly appreciated! ---------- Edited January 18, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo[TK] Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I had the same issue with my RS box. Here is what I did. It's not noticeable when wearing it. Edited January 18, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog44[TK] Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Loads of help Echo. I think I can deal with it at that measurement. Just that one corner really bothers me how it pops out but as you mentioned, not so noticeable when wearing it. I tried a bit of heat treatment to get some flatness but that started to get funky so I left it as is. Off to sleep but will get cracking on those drop boxes in the morning! As always, Arigato!

Sonnenschein Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 But that's a screen accurate feature! (yeah, the originals looked like manure) Nice fix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog44[TK] Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanks Karin. I wanted to keep some of those odd features but thought to tone down the corner a bit. Whatever heat treatment I did do not do much so it still kinda looks the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT-Mod Rob[501st] Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Drop me a note and I'll send you replacement boxes (I have some spares) 4pcs, fronts and backs. I hate to see you running around with those 'un-manly' drop boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
