Can you not make one buddy?
Whose gauntlets are they.......I mean I know they are your but who made them?
PM the gauntlet makers. Im sure one of them can hook you up..well all except Ruffkin Toy.
Is it repairable? I assume you would have to attach/paint the replacement part anyway, also did you paint the gauntlets? If not maybe someone could fix it up for you? Put some pics up it will help us see what can be done :thumbsup
It canr be mended unfortunately. It shattered as i tried to drill the hole in it a bit bigger. I dont know who made the gauntlets, they are not that great but they do the job.
if it's just for stage use WOF's template and cardboard till you can get a new one........
You can try making one out of wood, not that hard.
Perhaps FP or BM can help ,as 22ssplt said DO NOT ASK chuck (Ruffkin Toy) !!!
Good luck buddie ;)
what gives with Ruffkin Toy :?
Ok it like this with ruffkintoy ,in ocotober i paid him $260 for a set of ESB gauntlets in which i STILL have not recieved from him !! :cryQuote:

there is a thread on here about chuck and i think he still owes a few of us on here with stuff from him ,not to mention on the hunterslair.com where here taken peoples money with no stuff too :cry
Trust me dude dont go to him unless you wanna lose your money.
Enough said. ;)
Point taken
I'll concentrate on Fettpride, Bobamaker and MOW :)
Yeah MOW might be more helpfull there ;)

Maybe even put the hole/stud in it beforehand so you don't crack it again.
I wish you weren't across the pond otherwise I'd send you a replacement for free, it just wouldn't be worth the price of shipping for either of us since I have confidence you could make this part.
WOF plans for gauntlets might help too, but I would take measurements off your broken piece/actual gauntlets
sorry to hear about your jam

i'd use plumber's epoxy putty (assuming that's available in your area). cures in a few minutes, easily shaped by hand, and once it's fully cured you can drill / sand / shape / whatever.
actually, i'd probably embed a hose fitting from the plumbing aisle at your local hardware store right into the putty while it's curing so that you don't even have to worry about drilling into it.
You guys are the best :cheering :cheering :cheeringQuote:
