TD Redesign Help

[Retrofire]

Ok which one of you Ewok lovers can point me to where I can find what I need to do to build a revised new screen accurate TD for Lancer?

 

Honestly though I could use some help here. I've found a few threads but nothing concrete. Not sure if I need to break new ground here, which might be fun, or if there is something already defined. Many thanks!

I wrapped RJ 11 telephone cable around a 1.25" od hose black in color. I just used my SC TD because that's about the best we can get here in the states.

This flat RJ-11 chord looks promising: https://www.amazon.com/Gray-Plastic-Noodles-Telephone-Cable/dp/B00MJU3N8K

That's funny just ordered some a moment ago:)

No problem. I got mine off ebay for around $4 shipped. It's a light gray color matches up perfect with the screen used stuff. Also atleast get 25'.

Shoot! I should have waited for this post. I think I ended up with about 15' of the grey. How many turns did you do on your tube Tim?

[Stroker]

I used 24'.5" on mine. Youll use way more than you think. That's why I went to eBay and bought mine. $4 for 25'.

Are you getting new end caps or just repurposing your old ones? If going the new route are you just buying from SC or some other source?

Good to know. Thanks Tim I'll head back over change my order to get a longer strand.

No. I'm going to repurpose the old ones. I'll use my trusty heat gun to make the caps convex. Jeff over at SC has awesome service and if I mess these up I'll hit him up for a new set.

I've been asked about my end caps. Mine are MC that already have the convex to them. The SC caps all you need to do is them up a bit and take a ball and lightly press in to make the concave.

You read my mind Tim!
