I picked up one set of Iwata connectors, but then ordered another set of "generic" ones off amazon that had double the male connectors. The plan is to work down the knurling on the "male" parts and then connect the spare male piece to the back of the quick detach connector, connect hoses, add fabric mesh and then shrink wrap it. That's the plan anyway.
For the gauntlet side, I picked up some 3/8-24 x 5/8 bolts. I'll be cutting the heads off of the bolts, then connecting the bolts to the vambraces with the male connectors. Should be solid when glued and not have to worry about breaking off.
Do we know for sure that the knurling on the male connectors is actually milled down, or was the silver finish just removed?
