Hello Troopers! Thought I would share with you my cheap & easy method of scratch building thermal detonator clips.

Things you will need:

Aluminium sheet

Black paint

2x zip tie

Sharpie

A4 paper

3mm HSS-R drill bit & dremel

Ruler

Needle files

Massive scissors

 

First up, draw out a template on some paper...

These are the measurements for my TD, but they may vary depending on which make you have. It should fit like this...

Next, grab your sharpie & draw round the template onto the aluminium...

...and cut out with those massive scissors

Then draw on where the holes on the inside are going to go...

Drill round where you have just marked...

Take your needle files and start taking out the rest of the middle bits

Now for a bit of here's one I made earlier... File down any jagged bits so it's all neat, paint the ends black & bend like so. You should have something like this...

Next, slide two zip ties round the back of the tube in your TD

Pop the metal clips in...
