FX thermal detonator

[gazmosis[501st]]

O.K. I know. FX armor? The garrison member bout this in 2007. She never bought a helmet knowing how bad the FX one is. She is getting an ATA in time but until then, I am helping her to build her kit with accurate upgrades. Anyhow, anyone who has built an FX kit knows the therm det is a two piece thing with built in extensions for bolt on belt clips. I want to get a piece of pipe for a more accurate looking t.d. The outside diameter need is 2 3/4". Anybody know who sells pipe in the U.S. In this diameter?

Your best bet is just to get one of these http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/23997-screen-accurate-thermal-detonators-run-3/ it's accurate for one, a good price.. and you can simply transfer it over to whatever new kit you get

Been brousing the local big box stores for this same thing....   Just out of curiousity... does the base for the thermal detonator absolutely HAVE to be made from a pipe???? IF not, a piece of trimcoil (aluminium) could be easily made to most any cylinder diameter.  The seem could be hidden in the back and shape held by a few rivets....  All comments welcome.

 

I'm a newb playing around with a few ideas while on ATA's waiting list.

As long as it is the correct size and colour, the material doesn't matter.

When I got my FX I did not have it either ( my friend had lost it even before his built was done). So I got myself an AP. It's a tab whiter, but, it looks really good. You can always go and check out Troopermaster. He had a run of TD.

I saw trooper masters td's and money is really tight right now. A tube would be so much easier. This actually looks really close in size to RSProps. I wonder what they use since they include the tube with the armor.

Thanks Palpatine1977,  May post some pics to get opinions when this materializes.

Thaks Vern. I did verify that the FX end caps will fit onto an RS pipe (a future trooper came over tonight with his RS kit) Now, where do I get a pipe this size (2 3/4 o.d.) stateside???
