radude210 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 So, i am just waiting on paypal to transfer funds so i can pay stomper for some Speaker-Hovis he has all ready to go for me =) BUT! does anyone know of a good (preferable non-power tool) way of removing the Non-Speaker-Hovis? I want to do it as easy and clean as possible and figured i'd better figure it out now.... rather than when they get here an i jump the gun in the excitement and mess something up ~Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Most hovis have a nut on the inside of the helmet that holds it on. Take a look and let us know, or better yet take a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock[501st] Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 or are u talking abt the MRCE? which then there are 2 methods: power tool method - dremel it out non-power tool method - heat the plastic and rip it off; I used heat off a light bulb rofl.

Nate Yes! it is an MRCE. light buld eh? pretty clever is it better to heat it from the inside or outside of the helmet? Thanks! Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock[501st] Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I think I posted the piccies on here of wot I did. I heated mine from the inside, but becareful, too near or too long will warp surrounding plastic. I tended to go for less heat and tugged hard for mine. 1-2 min on - test, 1-2 min more test test test, yet 1-2 min more.... arrrggghhhhh TUG! plop there you go ;D I posted my step-by-step overhaul on the UK Garrison Public Access area btw; its kinda of a newb's/idiot guide to the mod as I had no experience with this whole costuming thing prior to modding my MRCE - titled MR CE overhaul (imaginative title huh!) post pics of progress - love watching these come together! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
