SpiceCredits Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi all,Does anyone know where I can find replacement pieces for BOTH ab button parts (the big piece with 5 buttons and smaller piece with 4)?I botched mine, and need new ones for Centurion application. I know, I know… How did you mess THAT up??? Long story, but I did. I've tried restoring them, but it ain't happening. If anyone has any (preferably made from AP) extras, or knows anyone that sells them individually, I would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks!I have contacted Mark for a replacement, but it's not for sure that he'll have some. I thought I would check with you guys as a secondary option.

SpiceCredits Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Update: Mark won't have any AP replacement buttons for another 2-3 months, so incase I don't find any...I'll be waiting and it will just have to be added on last.

SpiceCredits Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 You should check out my build thread... I destroyed a helmet already with a heat gun lol Oh man, that poor ear! I would have cried too. lol Glad Pyrates was able to help you out!! That's awesome. I'm hoping someone can come through for my ab buttons too. lol What did you use for your lenses? I am thinking of doing mine different. There are some gaps between the lens and eyes that's killing me. What kind of putty is that? Does it harden? What are the parts called that you placed in the putty to screw in the lens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 For any warping issues I always recommend hot water bath. Much safer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Sorry spice. Ok I used a number 3 welding shield and cut out the lenses from it. I got it from a local welding supply vendor called Praxair. But acklands grainger or McMaster Carr should have the same thing I got 3 sets of lenses from it. As for the putter I used plumbing epoxy putty. It's a 2 part putty kneaded it well stuck the nuts with the screws in them after measuring where I wanted my drill holes to go on the lenses and let it harden. It gets super solid after about 10 minutes. As for your gaps use a heat gun on the lenses out of the helmet heat them up and press around the helmet eye holes. It forms the lens to the shape of the hole. Sent from my SGH-I317M using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
