Extra kit/Screw kit info:

 

When doing this kit the products we highly recommend are:

(Optional) Car filler/Bondo

Drill 

Dremel

Sanding blocks

Various Grit sandpaper’s from 120-240

Basic Tap set (M3 M4 M5)

Superglue/Gorilla glue 

Masking tape 

 

When drilling into the parts (resin) please always pre-Drill the holes in the resin parts for screws, we use 5mm Drill bit for the 5.5mm screws so that it won’t burst the resin. Always drill very slowly to avoid heat build up, as this can make the resin burst. If that happens this can be fixed with car filler, but message us anytime and we can talk you through this. 

 

 

The proton pack shell: 

 

The shell when not attached to the Motherboard must be kept on a true flat surface to avoid warping, never leave,  the shell standing on its bed when not attached to the motherboard and never spray the shell or leave the shell in direct sunlight, as extreme heat can cause damage. Always spray shells in shaded areas and build the coats of paint up very lightly in order to get a good finish. 

 

In regard to the coloured cables they can tend to be stiff when new, when using these to build your pack please soak them in hot water or gently heat with a Hair dryer this will allow more flexibility. The gun cable is very stiff and can over time start to flex more, again this would need usage to do this. The cable in the Ghostbusters film is split which has an exposed line we don’t use this however we use,  

Splitless loom to protect the electronics that run in the cable to the wand.

 

Sometimes when adding electronics to the motherboard can push the shell away from the motherboard leaving a Gap between shell and motherboard, around the edge, this is something that happened in the films, but what we do is identify which internal components are causing the pressure so to stop it getting any worse, also sometimes if the Alice frame is attached to tightly it can cause a slight bend in the motherboard which can result in a gap, sometimes it can be bent back by hand to close the gap but if not we recommend using a soft wood clamp to close the gap then apply gentle heat from a hair dryer to a surrounding 10inch radius of the gap once you’ve got it warm leave it to cool over night and this will fix the problem. 

 

Some people find you get rattling between the shell and motherboard due to powerful base speakers the simplest way of fixing this is to, find some extremely thin draught excluder tape and apply to the motherboard  where the shell and motherboard meet. 

 

When putting the shell onto motherboard make sure not to over tighten the screws they should, be no more then finger tight as this can damage the shell and damage the threads.

 

When cutting the holes for the main gun tube for the shell and crank generator box we recommend using a 25mm hole cutter, you may need to use an extension for the crank generator box as where the gun mounts tend to get in the way. There is a couple of tight fits to get to on the shell. 

​

The metal vacuum tube that goes on to the shell hole, needs to be slightly keyed and the holes sanded around the edges for this to fit in. Fixing this in you should sand the bottom of the hole and the inside of the metal tube we then mix up a small amount of car filler and carefully wipe it inside the hole in the shell. Then you can push the vacuum tube down into it and from inside of the tube wipe the filler round so it goes inside, making sure this is straight before the filler goes off. Car filler is very strong and can be difficult to correct. 

 

The Hatlights that are provided are glued on and the electronics are pulled through the hole.

 

The vacuum tube cable is cut from the main gun cable, we usually cut off about slightly less then, 12 inches. 

 

The powercell lenses and cyclotron lenses need to be sanded to the size of the holes, to fit these in I suggest a light coating of superglue around the edges of the lenses, it can be tricky but works well, we use a cocktail stick dipped into superglue to apply the thinnest traces, around the edge of the hole and then push the lense in and leave it to grip. We also use a thin layer of masking tape on the inside if the cyclotron lenses which acts as a diffuser to the light and helps to strength the location of the lenses to the shell.
