I just did a mod on my Jango bucket and I think I goofed. I installed 2 LED lights on my rangefinder, but after I did it and the very next day I remembered reading a thread somewhere about there only being one LED and that the Rubies helmet was incorrect. Right now all I have is a modified Rubies until someone makes a kick-butt accurate Jango helmet that would be-to-scale on my 5'6" frame. So, I went off of what was already there and I think I screwed up. Anybody know how many LEDs and the placement? I'll do a search for that old thread, but I have a strong feeling there's only one LED...well at least mine blinks thanks to Radio Shack and a night of staying up till 2:30 am working on it! Oh well, my son likes it. Here's a few pics of my modified Rubies Jango bucket:

(I hate that it's a Rubies) -but Rubies or not, I like it and my kid loved it at his B-day party. I wish I would have gone with the lighter blue color around the lens that others recommend and is on Seeker's color chart pic, but I couldn't find the color at the time, so that color's a little off. But it works until I figure out who makes and sells the best fiberglass Jango. Any ideas who? I remember reading a thread a week or so back about someone who was fabricating one, but I can't remember who the fabricator was. I'll need to Search the threads. Thanks again for the awesome compliment. Cheers, and soon to be a little in the family.
. It's fully padded, got a Rembrandt visor and has the keyholes cut out for vent. I glued a piece of 1" wide 1/8" thick aluminum stock across the back from earpiece to earpiece that was bent to curve around the back keyhole area and hold the most accurate flare I could get with a Rubies. That piece of aluminum stock has really been the saver and key or else the bucket wouldn't look half as decent as it does. And it really helps to make the bucket feel sturdy and not bendy like Rubies are.
