    Anyone know a way to make jepack hooks?

    Hey all. I just got my insanely awesome BFUK ESB pack yesterday. Last thing I need to do is make some jetpack hooks for it and I can wear it. What is the best way to do that? Do they screw in with a nut and bolt? are there "sticky back" adhesives people use? I have about 3 days before this bad boy has to be ready. So if anyone knows of any hooks that a store would sell that would work, let me know! Thanks a ton!

    Sticky tape!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know the pack is pretty light weight but that may be a little too much

    You have three options, due to the time frame here.

    Option 1 find a set in the US that you can beg, steal, borrow or buy.
    Option 2 fabricate something strong enough to do the job that BOLTS through the back, use spring washers if you can too.
    Option 3 ask me for a set like two days ago

    This is what you are aiming for, but the basic shape will get you through. I cold not find a photo of the madmartigan ones using the search but if anyone has a photo it may help.



    When you make/get them this may help with the fitting

    I actually went to HOME DEPOT and picked up a set of JOIST hangers. All ya need to do is bend them into the shape you want. They even come with holes for mounting a screw. If you had time, just get them from BFUK...

    i'd suggest making sure to use bolts and nuts. don't try adhesive... that's just asking to have them pop off!
