BIG UPDATE!!!!!!
Hi all...
As promised today was D-day for our hired machinist....and Let me just say, WOW
...he really came through for us.
We (Me, Evan4218, and Batninja) made the trip early this morning to visit with the Machinist and view the first two prototypes of the finished ears and RF stalk assembly.... I think from the moment I saw them I was blown out of the water and almost fainted at the first site of them
, mainly because the amount craftsmanship and professionalism that was put into these by our machinist was just amazing!!!! They really made us all speechless.......I think we all had a tear in our eye. :cry
Before I post the pics (taken by Evan4218 ) I want to reiterate that these are the first "prototype" ears....and we have already worked with our machinist to get correct modifications done...all be it very little was needed in terms of any mods... TRUST ME....they're perfect as is
....
at this point we were just happy that we got to bring these babies home today!!
Rather than post the run information (costs) which will come later tonight, I want this post to be simply about the pictures.... So we can all see them mounted on the new
FPH, which these ears are made for...
but not limited to.
Final assembly will come with a TEMPLATE to ensure you drill the holes correctly to mount your ears properly.
SO ON WITH THE PICS!!!
Details:
1. All the holes you see have threaded holes drilled, meaning you can literally screw the bolt in from the front side and not have to worry about attaching a nut on the backside/inside of the helmet, (nut attachment though is still recommended)......
The entire kit will include all of the hardware needed to mount your own ears.(slight modifications are being made to the placement of the threaded connection holes)
2
. The Ear Cap (my favorite part) will come with a pegged fitting with
Magnet attachment , as you can see from the pics....
Magnets will come with the kit and are on BOTH the RF housing base and the Ear Cap. And trust me this ear cap will NOT fall off....plus the pegs are 100% steel, for added strength.
3. The Left Ear Piece , As you can see in the pics the depth of the gap in the ear piece is not as deep as it should be
....a simple mod on that will be in the final product.... with few additional mods here and there.
4. Hollow Range Finder Stalk, right now the kit will include a hollow rangefinder stalk....but there are TWO versions........
a. one where there is simply a hole drilled all the way through (most Popular version)
b. and a second version where there is a plate-covering that will need to be glued on (more accurate, and according to
Braks may be simply a stunt version stalk, pics posted above by Evan4218 on post
