Artshot Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Whilst the glue on my forearm is curing, I thought I might start to construct my thermal detonator, but after digging through my file of print outs for the information, I found two diffrent photos (which I found on FISD), with different sizes. The first is:- 190mm in length Width/Depth of end cap 24mm Distance between end cap and "White Plate" 15mm "White Plate" length 108mm "White Plate" width 85mm The second is:- 190mm in length Width/Depth of end cap 20mm Distance between end cap and "White Plate" 12mm "White Plate" length 122mm "White Plate" width 95mm Whilst most of the differences are small and negligible, there's a couple that are pretty large. I have looked around for anything definative concerning construction, I understand the clips should be as close to the end caps as you can make them, got that. I am building a set of AM 2.0 armor. As I am aiming for accuracy, any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Edited August 28, 2015 by Artshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Your end cap thickness should be a little closer to 20 mm the control panel width (side to side) is perfect and front to back is perfect the gap between the control panel and end caps should be about 12 mm all together your total leng should be around 187...just as you have. (in that ball park) The belt clips should be 2mm thick X 27mm wide aluminum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artshot Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks for the information Steve, just checked, the second set of sizes come from a "Billhag" photo (I think I have them all printed), from a lot of the builds I have followed and printed out, it looks like, when in doubt, go with "Billhag" ?

The 2mm (thick) x 27mm (wide) is good — but how long are each of the clips before bent into shape? I'd like to make my own but information has been really hard to find save for the reference photos which still leave me guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imperialbrewer[TK] Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Yeah, I have seen that posting, but I still feel it’s lacking in the information. I was hoping to get the total length of that aluminum strip. Photos in the gallery just leave me guessing.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katiebug0747[TK] Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I too have the same question....How long are the aluminum strips BEFORE they are bent into the clip shape? From reading above, I gather 200mm is the answer but is that correct?? And would that be for just ONE clip? So I'd need to purchase enough to make two, right? I'm planning on making this myself because I need it completed by next weekend. If I had time to order pre-made clips I would, I the shipping time would be take too long and I'd missed my deadline. I'm pretty resourceful so I know I can make this. All I'm lacking is the length measurements so I know how much to buy this weekend from a hardware store. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Standrex[TK] Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I'm not sure there is a length. I'm hoping to be finishing up and getting my approval pics taken soon (did my pre approval, so I assume mine wasn't an issue since that wasn't an issue). Mine are 90mm before the bend (part going behind the belt). I'm still learning a lot myself every time I turn around, so take it for what it is worth...

There is a length CRL: The total length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standrex[TK] Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yes... We've established the overall length of the thermal detonator. We are talking about the thermal detonator CLIPS and how much length the straight part of the clips are before the bend. Thanks though.
