I procured a set of aluminum darts for my WOF scratchbuilt gaunts. Can anyone offer suggestions how to attach them to the gaunt. Pics would be nice if possible. Sorry, I'm a visual learner.

I procured a set of aluminum darts for my WOF scratchbuilt gaunts. Can anyone offer suggestions how to attach them to the gaunt. Pics would be nice if possible. Sorry, I'm a visual learner.
The ones in my Ruffking gaunts where just hotglued from the inside. Sorry, no pics![]()
I attached my darts by first drilling the holes, then inserted plastic tubes which I glued in place. ( ensuring that the angle was correct by test-fitting a dart when I glued them in place. ) Once the tubes were glued in place, I trimmed them flush to the outside and filled in any holes or gaps. ( aside from the holes in the actual tubes )
Then I used hot glue to secure the darts in the tubes. I can try and post up a pic of the dart setup for you tonight if you'd like.
Jango 72, I like that idea. I think I will drill the holes and maybe place the darts in some kind of set up that allows me to mount them all in one go.
Hot glue will be used.
i used plumbers epoxy putty. drilled holes, stuck the darts into a lump of epoxy putty on the inside and adjusted them so that they were all parallel / level. 5 minutes later they aren't moving.
HHHMMMMMMMMMM. All very good ideas, which one to use. I'm spoiled for choice looks like. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
