Jetpack Question- Removable Thrusters?

Musical Fett

Active Hunter
I have a MoW jetpack that I've been working on, and I'd like to make the thrusters removable. Any tips/suggestions? I've used the search function, but haven't had much luck. I made the rocket removable with a dowel screw and wingnut, but will need the thrusters to be removeable as well to fit into the Stanley mobile box I bought to store/transport my costume. Thanks in advance!
 
I just recently ordered a MOW pack as well. Great question! I'll be waiting to hear some ideas too (y)
 
I used the PVC pipe combo that MOW recommends and the thrusters are made to be pretty close to the right size to stick in a PVC elbow. I just wrapped the thruster tip a couple of times with painters tape to give it a little more thickness and they stay snugly in the internal PVC pipe assembly for trooping. Just pop them in when I need to and out when I pack up my kit.
 
I have a MOW pack as well. I actually glued a panel behind each hole (inside the pack of course) at the depth i wanted the thrusters to go and attached an earth magnet to it. I also attached an earth magnet to the end of the thruster so they just pop right in and attach to the magnet :) Im able to store my pack with all the parts in it. The top section of the rocket on MOWs pack, i also use a magnet instead of gluing it. The magnets are strong enough that i can lift the entire pack by that top rocket without it giving way. It all breaks down nicely and i can fit it in my tote without a problem :)
